We went yesterday for Decision Day and were quite pleased with the program. We arrived at 7:00 for the honors breakfast and tried to wake up! The honors presentation was very good and informative, not really repeating any info we heard on our previous visit. The Q&A from the students was interesting and my DS really didn’t have any questions left.

We next went to the business presentation which was ok and then on the accounting/MIS smaller group. This was really informative on double/triple majors, AP credits, big 4 accounting firms, internships, etc. Almost all of this was new info and in more in depth than the last visit we had which was a general overview. There were 2 professors and 5 students, all answering questions.

Lunch on the green, music entertainment, their own UDairy ice cream was amazing. I wanted another look at the dorm room in Russell, but there was really a long wait, so we didn’t stay.

We did talk to a UD police officer since safety is a priority for my DH, well all of us. They are armed and are real police officers that are on site in addition to the Newark police dept. We asked about petty theft and she said it was mainly opportunity theft, don’t leave your books in the library and go get coffee, don’t leave your dorm room unlocked, etc.

My DS already put his deposit down at the beginning of the month, so this wasn’t really a decision for us, but we did want to visit again. We didn’t stay for any of the afternoon activities since DS’s allergies were really acting up, too many trees and too much grass, but it’s so beautiful there.
