<p>We're from NJ and my son & I just went to open house this week. He really, loved the school - as well as TCNJ, Rowan & Farleigh Dickinson. I've read here as well as 'heard' from others that TCNJ is pretty difficult to get into and Rowan is getting to be as well. How is UD? I think my son is right 'in there' as far as GPA, but we're waiting for SAT scores now. He'll have ltrs. of rec., etc.</p>
<p>Just wondering how everyone else's experience was with the school. We both really liked it. He's not sure, but most likely will be majoring in English w/creative writing and minor in photography if possible. Just seems that UD & Rowan have more to offer in this vein than TCNJ.</p>
<p>My son got in, and will be attending, with very unspectacular stats. We have visited twice, and really liked it. Besides the beautiful campus, it has a very heavy out-of-state population, liberal feel, and seems to provide a good education in many areas/majors.</p>
<p>I would say Del is a few notches above Rowan and FDU. So far the communication has been very good. My son has picked up the phone and got answers to all sorts of questions/concerns. I just called them 5 minutes ago to ask about early move-in, and they were very helpful.</p>
<p>Is the UDelaware particulary strong in any major field ( e.g. Business, Poli Sci,
Engineering, Education, etc... ) ? I agree though, many kids from here in NJ seem to be interested in the school. Not sure whether as a primary or safe school. If I was 30 years younger, I would prefer UDel certainly ahead of a
school like Rutgers. Enjoy. MBJ</p>
<p>UD is strong in most fields, but is especially known for its engineering and nursing programs. Their communications program is also VERY competitive.</p>
