I was accepted into a Ph.D. program at UD that starts in the fall, and I am having some issues finding platforms to connect with current/incoming grad students. I was hoping to find a way to get some roommates and just to chat about what life is like as a grad student at UD. Do any current grad students have advice on making those connections before making the move to Newark?

I’m very likely going to attend UD this coming school year, and I wanted to know how the fishing scene is like around campus? Are there ponds/lakes/spillways that yall recommend? I’d love to get into some saltwater fishing too, but how far is UD from the ocean? Any and all input would be appreciated 🙏

I was considering maybe something high pay like construction part-time so I can make the most money to pay off college.

Do any folks who are attending the doctoral hooding ceremony on Wednesday, May 20 have an extra ticket that they’d be willing to part with? I have a big family and have one more person that I’d really like to have there celebrating with me in person. Thanks in advance!

hi, i’m a student at hopkins (f21) and will be interning near newark this summer. i’m looking for early may to early august.

I'm currently trying to transfer from cc to UD for environmental engineering. I am finishing my associates at my cc this summer. The only issue is that I don't fit the requirement of having Calc 1. I don't want to stay at cc for another semester to take the singular calc class and put me behind. Do you think it would be a bad idea to apply for something else and take Calc 1 and other classes that would help me in enviro engineering as well and then try to transfer out in the spring? Should I just tough it out and stay at cc even though I would only be taking one class?

Has anyone done something similar or have experience transferring to enviro engineering? Is it less likely to be admitted in the spring?
