    Am learning a lot

    Learning is a fundamental thing at this school. Don't take your education for granted becuase the classroom size is small enough for you to ask as many questions when there is something not understood.
    Am enjoying being here

    I have alot of fun outside of classes. Going to various social events allows you to have fun while learning at the same time.
    Tips for prospective students

    Delaware State is a nice school. Expect to come here and learn alot and also get alot of one on one time with professors when needed. The school also offers tutoring sessions if you need extra help. There are alot of campus organizations and activities, which many of the students enjoy. The campus is right across the street from a mall, which has every possible store you may need to shop at from school supplies to groceries.

    My schedule is intense but the professors are great.
    Am enjoying being here

    Small campus but has the family feel.
    Bang for the buck

    It all balances out.
    Tips for prospective students

    You must realize that college is NOT high school. Time management is the key to success. The freedom you will have is going to make you feel great but understand that with freedom comes responsibility.
    Great for these types of students

    If you don't want a large campus, this is the college for you; close to Washington, DC; Shopping mall across the street

    Am learning a lot

    I definitely am learning a lot here I transferred from Long island University in Brooklyn NY, and I never had the opportunity to learn such variety of things. For example about black history, the most I knew about Black History was what they could squeeze in during Black History month but here I have the opportunity to get in touch with my past as well as others on this campus.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love being here it's not to far from home, and I just Love learning in General, Dover mall is right across the street and my cousin goes to Wesley college about 5 minutes away met Great fellow students, as well as professors and administration.
    Bang for the buck

    It definitely is worth coming here as well It is a bit expensive but it definitely is worth it. coming from Long Island University and comparing the prices I would recommend whomever too come here.
    Tips for prospective students

    For prospective students I would recommend coming here Just know who you are and what you come here to do and you will be fine.
    Great for these types of students

    I feel that's Its great for everyone. People mistaken HBCUs as all black colleges when all it is, is Historically Black. at the end of the day we are all here for the same reasons and that's to enhance our education, so if you play sports, love music, art, mass communications, nursing, social work, criminal justice and so many other things I would recommend you to come to Delaware State University

    Tips for prospective students

    Stay focused. Work first party later. College isn't cheap make the best of it.
    Academic Rigor

    I had some great professors this year. However there are a few that are very unorganized and unprofessional.
    Dorm Life

    The dorm are not great. They could be cleaned better and refurnished. Some of the dorms are really old and need to be brought up to date.
    Food and Dining

    The food is alright but could be better. The are very few options. You basically the same thing all the time.
    What to do for fun

    For fun and my friends hang out. Rather it's baking cookies, shopping or going to the movies. We always find something to do

    Did learn a lot

    Though there is a lot that I love about the University, there are some negative things about Del State that I've learned the hard way..

    Check my tips for perspective students section for quick insight on my experience.
    Did enjoy being here

    With the social life, academic life and all the culture that Delaware State has to offer, I was and still am sure that I'd LOVE campus life.
    Tips for prospective students

    Even though I fell in love with the idea of becoming a DESU student, it is unfortunate that I have to report their poor services.

    Being an out-of-state student, a lot of my business with them had to be conducted via telephone. This made it impossible to get things done and situated.

    I remember calling numerous times to simply check my financial aid status and trying to receive my remaining balance with the school; I never received a call-back or an email regarding my issue. Though they were friendly over the phone, I received little to no help resulting in me missing two semesters of school and having to transfer to another institution.

    I hope they get it together because I would hate for another student to experience the frustration and heartbreak that I did.

    Each teacher has a different teaching style. Some teachers are more helpful, some teachers feel that since we're college students they don't need to be more helpful outside of class. The lectures in class have a lot of information in them, so paying attention is key because the information that is giving is important and you will learn a lot.
    Am enjoying being here

    Some days are fun, some days are boring. There is a lot of different activities that do go on on campus, just have to find the ones you'll enjoy.
    Bang for the buck

    Delaware State has a lot of issues with having things working such as, the internet, cable, appliances.

    Academic Rigor

    Shockingly, I did learn alot from being here at Delaware State. The classroom sizes are pretty decent, and the professors are good as well.
    Am enjoying being here

    Yes! Well I'm a member of the Approaching Storm Marching Band, and having my band family has really made my college experience woth every moment.
    Bang for the buck

    For out of state students like myself....sometimes its not worth it. You have to be on top of everything with this school. Especially when it comes to financial aid and housing.
    Tips for prospective students

    This isn't high school at ALL!!! What you have to understand is that your paying money to go to school, it isn't free..so if you screw up, then thats it.

    Will learn a lot

    Because I have attended the new student orientation, I can see that the staff and campus are well organized and caters to the needs of the students. The equipments and students facilities shows that the staff take their students opinions about their campus serious, due to the fact that they added a new gym, and cafe. I'm really excited to attend Delaware State.
    Will enjoy being here

    I will definitely enjoy being at Delaware State because it is a nice location near the Dover Mall, a Boys and Girls club is on campus, and the campus is closed and gated off to the rest of the community; therefore, it gives the students a sense of safety.
    Bang for the buck

    Delaware State University definitely gives their students the bang for the buck, because of the neat location, clean and comfortable campus, and plenty of activities to due on campus with its new and renovated cafe, gym (indoor, and outdoor), and pools.
    Tips for prospective students

    Some tips that I would give for prospective students would be to visit the campus to be sure the location is something that will best fit your needs as a student. I would also recommend visiting to speak with professors and current students to see what the class sizes are like, and what currents student like about their school. This could in many ways be a the make or break of a prospective students final decision when deciding on a college.
    Great for these types of students

    Delaware State University is a school that is great for students that look a for college that is small enough so that the students will be known as his or her name, and not a number. DSU has small classes which gives students the ability to know his or her professor not only in the class room but personally. In many large universities getting and staying in touch with teachers can be difficult; therefore, if you are looking for small class and campus DSU is good for you!

    I do not recommend this school because they are unorganized and inconsistent. You will have to worry about issues that arise from thin air that was not even your fault but the school's fault. Also, the tuition is not worth paying for for the horrible housing that is given.
    Tips for prospective students

    Keep a close eye on your billing account at all times because they will be QUICK to put you at the bottom of the list for housing and registering for classes. Even though you will be getting the run around when you ask questions and it can be very frustrating, do NOT give up. When you finally get your answer, it will be worth it because you can then tell others.
    Academic Rigor

    Their nursing program is amazing because they really do seem to get you ready for what is to come once you graduate. The professors are not the best but if you ask around, people will give you wonderful professors to take to make your classes run smoothly. Keep that GPA starting from FRESHMAN year.
    Dorm Life

    The freshman dorms do not have AC, you may not have a refrigerator without a doctor's note, and you may not bring a portable AC. There is no curfew, however, their is visitation policies when your guests but be out of the building. Once you leave the freshman dorms, you will have more freedom.
    Food and Dining

    Eventually it will seem like you have the same meals everyday but it is much better than some schools who only have one place to eat. We have three!
    What to do for fun

    There isn't stuff to do locally especially when you don't have a car but within walking distance we have a mall. The mall sucks unfortunately, but in the mall there's a theater. Besides that, there's not much to do except go to parties.
    Bang for the buck

    The school is so money hungry. You have to pay 5 cents a copy to print and 10 cents a copy to copy (awkward I know). They do give you 100 dollars in flex meaning after the dinner meal is over, you may use the 100 dollars they give you each semester to pay for your food.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are a lot of clubs to join, you just have to look for them and research them.
    Greek Life

    Greek life is CRAZY! They're always out on the plots playing music and they always come through parties with their step. They're a ot of fun.

    delaware state university is a credible hbcu. through the orientations, campus visits, and interest meetings, you can learn a lot about the university. our goal is making our mark on the world.
    Tips for prospective students

    if you are planning to attend delaware state university it is suggested to become familiar with the school and campus itself. think about what you're interested in and what you plan to major in, to predict how you can make your own mark on the world. it is also very important to stay on top on financial aid, and your personal understanding of paying for college.
    Academic Rigor

    this university has approximately a 12:1 faculty to student ratio. if you find your courses challenging, there are many resources to help you on campus, you just have to be willing to access and use them. some say college work is less rigorous than work assigned in high school, you just have to learn to manage time, social skills, and your priorities.
    Dorm Life

    there are coed, male, and female residents halls on delaware state's campus. depending on your choice upon enrollment is where you may. each hall is set up with two to a room (3 in some circumstances) and divided into wings. the residential halls are fairly similar, and you become eligible based on your credit hours. living in the dorms is a great way to meet new friends and learn to live outside of what you're used to back home.
    Food and Dining

    there are three main locations to get food on campus. one is the village cafe', which is located on the west side of the campus and is similar to a buffet. another is conrad, that is a building on campus which holds three different selections to choose to eat. here you are severed checkers restaurant, meat or veggie wraps, and even home-style chicken and potato wedges. the third location on campus to eat is the austin grill located in our student center which serves everything from cheeseburgers to burritos. most purchases can be made based upon your meal plans. and if you crave something else, the school is surrounded with eateries and restaurants that should satisfy your hunger.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    almost every thursday evening the campus sga hosts what is titled the 1200 lounge to give students a chance to relax, listen to music, play games, and participate in events to have fun! this event often helps take a load off of students shoulders, interact with peers and be introduced to upcoming events on campus.
    Clubs and Activities

    this campus contains clubs for people interested in arts to computers. each bulletin board you walk pass contains information that helps students be involved and know what is going on. if you feel as though nothing suits you, you can always begin your own club or start and activity!
    Campus Safety

    delaware state has their own public safety who are the campus police. they are here to protect every student and all faculty to make sure our environment is safe. if any incident was to occur, they would immediately contact the campus so everyone is aware. if a student has a problem or needs medical assisting, public safety will be contacted first.

    Delaware State University is a great academic place. They offer many degrees of high scholar. Obtaining a business degree from DSU is like getting a degree from HARVARD !
    Will enjoy being here

    DSU is fun and beautiful campus to be on. Its nice and clean and the students and staff there are very welcoming, nice and enthusiastic.
    Bang for the buck

    Attending DSU is inexpensive; whether you come from in state or out of state. They offer lots of organizations and groups to be apart of, which are also worth the little bit of money you may pay to be apart of.
    Tips for prospective students

    become a well rounded student as early as possible. get involved, and enjoy what you do. keep your academics as your highest priority, and don't slack off as a senior.
    Great for these types of students

    Fun loving, energetic, students wanting to learn more everyday. It is also for the students who are more shy. The people at DSU will definitely open you up, and have you willing to do allot more. You'll feel so comfortable on campus. It is for the students who want to have a home away from home !
