<p>I just got in off the waitlist at University of Delaware.... but as of right now, i'm going to nova this fall. what should i do?!</p>
<p>what a dilemma...lol....accepted at two amazing schools, congrats. have you visited both? if Udel is giving you some time to respond you should DEF go down for one last visit. and for sure you should visit nova (if you havent already recently) to be assured that its where you REALLY want to go. i know people at both schools and they absolutely love it. they are two very different schools though, so a lot of it is personal preference. Udel is like twice the size of villanova, and if moneys an issue....tuition is also about twice as much (for out of state). also, what are you planning to study? i know villanova has very strong business, engineering, and nursing programs...where as delaware has great psychology and elementary education. are you religious at all? villanova does maintain a strict augustinian heritage (roman catholics) and when you visit campus you will find that there is somewhat of a religious undertone. i've heard that you will find everytype of person at delaware...from preps to nerds...and that everyone basically finds their own niche. nova is stereotypically more homogeneous...white, preppy, rich..but there are minorities, just few and far between. both schools are division 1, so if your into sports that's kind of a good thing...i'm sure you also know villanova has crazy school spirit if thats your thing. i'm not sure, but i think delaware might be a little more secluded than villanova, although i've heard the campus and facilities are absolutely beautiful. villanova is 15 min from philly...so the campus is suburban and residential but you also have access to philly and the main line area...and plent of other colleges (rosemont, bryn mawr, haverford, drexel, upenn,etc). both schools have kids that work hard and play hard..so if you like to party it's still an option at both places...basically it's all kind of personal preference and which place seems right...which place seems like the kind of place where you'd want to live for the next 4 years. anyways, hope this helped...</p>
