<p>Hello. I am trying to factor in as much as I can in helping to lay out the pros and cons of my D’s choice of school. UDEL is on her short list. I read on this board that UDEL’s winter term would cost ~$5K (credits/housing/meals/insurance) for four (4) OOS credits. This significantly adds to the COA. Will taking ‘winter term’ classes be necessary to complete a degree in 4 years (assuming no drastic changes in major … I can hope, right?)? And, if my D comes home, will her existing dorming arrangements be left intact? But, if she chooses to stay and work locally in Newark (I can hope … right?), can she still reside in her UDEL dorm and have meals at school even if she isn’t taking classes?</p>
