<p>My husband grew up in Newark and attended U of D for one year. We looked at it with my daughter when we were college shopping. I liked it and the honors program looked great. Don’t be fooled by the lowish in-state stats, the Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania borders are 20 minutes from Newark so many of those state residents are more familiar with U of D then they’re own state U’s, so even though there’s out of state diversity on paper, I bet the majority of students are from those surrounding states. Nothing like no sales tax for shopping too!</p>
