Student Reviews
university of Delaware review!
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
It is a very nice experience, however the cost is very high and it’s very hard to afford which causes a lot of stress upon many families. However, the campus is beautiful and you gain tremendous experiences.
Easy going though tricky
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
It was an easy going course, simplicity, an interesting course though lots of obstacles in line and tricky.

The university had a lot of resources but it was more of a classroom study rather than hands-on experiences. The professors were nice depending on the subjects that were being taught.
