Super chill @ Delaware

Introduction
It’s a little bit of a slower pace down here, but definitely when you come to the University you have so many people from like Long Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Everybody’s pretty much from the northeastern area, it’s pretty chill.

Pretty much here at Delaware, as a guy you’re outnumbered I think its 60/40. And you’re really not going to regret coming to Delaware with the girl ratio.
The business school in general here at the University, it’s actually pretty hard. It’s a really competitive program, but you got to work hard, get good grades and then you get to party hard. A lot of the professors, they have a lot of experience in the business and actual real life, I guess corporate jobs and what not. Classes are hard, but you just have to kind of know older people, know what the tests are like. A lot of people have old exams, you get those old exams, you’ll definitely succeed in the classes. The workload its there and you have 5 classes. They all want you to read 30 pages a night.

Campus Life and Social Life
The hardest part of college is setting up an agenda for yourself. Knowing when you can do things, when you can read, when you can go out with your friends. It’s just all about organizing your time. Time management. I interned for Morgan Stanley over my junior year summer, it was a lot of work. You’re the low man on the totem pole. You organize files, you just learn the basics, but if they like what you do, like me they pretty much offered me a job before December and everything went well, so I’ll be working with them starting June 27th.

Academics
Main Street’s pretty much where it’s at here in Delaware. That’s why a lot of the townies go there. Most of your college days are going to be up on Main Street. All the stores are up there. It’s a good time, the bars are amazing. So hopefully if you have a fake ID, good for you. Here at Delaware, they actually have mug night at the Stone Balloon on Main Street. It’s probably my favorite night of the week, nobody really cares about Friday. Basically the mugs, they cost you $10 originally and when you go to the bar and you have this mug, if you keep it with you, it’s only a $1 refill. So its one crazy party.

Student Body
The campus: pretty much you have a bunch of sports opportunities, they have club sports, actual team sports. When I came to the school I knew they had a roller hockey program and an ice hockey program. They have a club sports meeting when you first come here as an entering freshman within the first week of school. When you go to that you can sign up for whatever you want. You go to the tryouts and then from then on if you make the team you’re part of the team. If not you gotta find something else to do like join a sorority or fraternity.

Surprisingly the faculties at University of Delaware are pretty nice. The gym is a pretty spacious gym unlike other schools. You pretty much meet a lot of friends from the gym, so it’s easier to meet people. They have cardio machines, weightlifting machines. In the facility itself you can play volleyball, basketball, swimming pool, they even have rock-climbing I believe.

In Closing...
When you’re entering as freshman, the dorm life depends on where you get located, it depends what you want.

The Rodney dorms and the Dickinson dorms at Delaware are pretty much shitholes. You’re living in jail cell, it’s very small. My parents used to make fun of me, thought I lived in a closet. It’s so socially there, like everyone just leaves their door open, it’s a constant interaction. People are walking down the hallway like “oh you want to go grab a beer.” I mean it’s a lot of good times and it’s very easy to make friends.

There’s definitely a drug scene here. I have a lot of friends that do it, that don’t. There’s alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, you name it, steroids. It’s all on the campus, so you have quite an assortment to choose from if you choose to.
