University of Delaware vs. Penn State

We know happy students at or grads of both schools. I guess I would ask about location. IMHO, Penn State is in the middle of no where. UDel is accessible to more urban areas. Is that a consideration?

When I was making my college decision last year I had a very similar dilemma. For the entire month of April I was stuck between Penn State and UD. I am currently a freshman Biomedical Engineering major at UD and absolutely love it. I appreciate how UD is filled with out of state students, which creates a diverse student body. I know countless people from my graduating class that went to Penn State and they all seem to create their own cliques (even after saying PSU is so big and it would be easy to meet new people). Overall, I am happy with my decision and would be glad to give more insight.

Thanks so much for weighing in! I’m so glad to hear that you are having a good experience. My son likes UD, I think he just is wanting to branch out since we are in state. I’m really hoping that when we do the admitted student tour he’ll fall in love with it. I’m also hoping to get some of our questions about his major answered. I really appreciate you taking the time to give me your input though! It’s great to hear from a current student!
