Probably because they did not get into UVA, VT, W&M, UMD, etc.

But why not just go to a private school then?

There are some schools like Berkeley or UCLA that I can understand. I’m talking about pretty average schools like University of Delaware. And I do know Penn State is a great public school. I have many friends who went to Penn StAte, Rutgers, SUNY and UMass but they all went as in state.

Why bust on Delaware? Sheesh. The engineering program is pretty dang good.

I went to a state school 800 miles away from where I grew up. Why? It was 800 miles away and in the mountains (plus a major I was interested in).
