<p>does anyone know if UDelaware has sections of dorm for women engineering major?</p>
<p>Through the FYE (First-Year Experience) and LIFE program - there are clusters where students who have similar interests can live in certain sections of the residence halls together. </p>

<p>Depending on the major, there are various life clusters. To find out if the major (Chem Eng. for example) has a cluster, just search for it here:</p>

<p>Thank you. That's exactly what I was searching for. We'll be sure to visit soon.</p>

If you request one of these LIFE things, are you sure to get it?</p>
<p>hey markudel, i'm confused. are the LIFE program rooms coed by rooms and not by floors? I notice a lot of campuses these days have mixed floors by rooms, even my S's university. i was hoping for more privacy for D, at least gender by floors. We'll learn more when we visit I'm sure. UDel sounds like a good fit for D.</p>
<p>weenie I think they accept almost everyone who applies primarily because if there are too many people who apply to a cluster they just make 2 I believe. </p>
<p>billy's mom Clusters vary and can be co-ed by alternating room, co-ed by wing, co-ed by floor or single sex for females. I think the location of the cluster within the residence hall varies on who is in it. I'm not sure how housing does it but I can assure you that privacy and stuff is a big concern at UD housing and they are great with making sure everyone feels ok in the residence halls.</p>
<p>Thank you so much! We are definitely going to the open house. UDel has what she wants and even ice skating too! I read your other informative posts and answers about the school. They are extremely helpful!</p>
<p>Is your daughter a figure skater? I figure skated for the Collegiate team for four years and loved every second of it. I have some contacts if you need to talk to people.</p>
<p>That's so amazing you skate! D started skating again. Maybe wants to join a collegiate synchro team. I'm hunting early for schools w/ strong chem engr w/biochemical concentrations and maybe near a rink. Oh yeah, great food and must!</p>
<p>Well you can't beat Delaware then to be honest.</p>
<p>Mark is right. Delaware would be the school for all of that.</p>
<p>alright, in your honest opinions, is it best to go to colleges' open house days on campuses, or instead - go on a tour whenever we can get there and contact the specific department that we're interested in. We're not able to go to many campuses at all. thanks.</p>
<p>I don't think it really matters - I think it can get crowded and it is a bit more impersonal if you go to a group 'open house' day - whereas the individual tours M-F tend to be smaller and more personal. For a real treat, avoid mondays and fridays - if you go on a tuesday, wednesday or thursday, you will almost always have a small tour, if not your own.</p>
<p>thanks. we decided to wait til she's ready and go on our own. I really think UDelaware is the fit for her!</p>
<p>Good to hear - it's a stunning institution.</p>
