People are nice but if you’re a student 90% of the staff here will talk down to you and treat you like a child. They take forever to get things fixed and don’t really care about the students here. It was -17 degrees and we still had class they had students walk from the dorms which is a 15 minute walk the high schools canceled school. Parking and the roads here forgot to mention that they are quick to give someone a ticket also. If you’re you like being treated as a decent human being definitely don’t come here cause staff here will go out of there way to be rude.
I had a great 4 year experience. I really learned a lot and met so many amazing people on campus and in the community. The city itself was very welcoming and allowed me to accomplish a lot of work throughout the community. I enjoyed the football program and campus life. I wouldn’t choose any other school to go to. Also shoutout to the great fraternity of all time ΩΨΦ!
Sent my daughter there a few months ago. Love the clean campus and how well organized everything is. A safe and positive environment with caring staff. Worth the money.
Enjoyed every moment at UD! graduated in 2010 in sociology and psycology. The one on one attention from the professors and small class rooms was just what I needed. It's a small school but the campus is beautiful and from my knowledge continues to expand! The library was my favorite building everything was always kept so clean around campus! At UD you felt like everyone was family
