| DD ended up choosing Pitt but UDel was a close second. I really liked the school, the tuition is not terrible and it has lots of out of state kids. |

A reasonable Rutgers-to-the-South. Academically, how well you do is vital - a B+ kid from Delaware gets nothing; an A/A- kid can get into top graduate programs and actively compete for employment. Relatively fun campus, relatively safe, and NOT terrifically exciting after it has become familiar. Do not go there looking for charm ...

Didn't they have a shooting with students killed by another student or another student's friends a couple years ago? |

just checked on this.
ranked #75 by US News, which seems pretty good. Esp. their college of engineering $25,000 for out of state tuitiion seems high read college reviews: many negative comments from students, crime a recurring topic incl. assaults and robberies. |

No! That was Delaware State University, not University of Delaware. |

| Joe Biden managed to graduate, if that tells you anything about the academic standards. |

He was a senator for several decades and is the vice president, so, yeah, that's a pretty good feather in its cap |

The honors program likes to tout itself as as good as the Ivies - I know because I was forced to sit through several presentations as a junior and a senior in HS. They heavily recruited at my high school, which sends the most students there of any in DE.
I spent a lot of time on campus with friends when I was home from my school. It was too close to home for me, honestly, but Newark is a nice town and the campus is nice. As for Joe Biden managing to graduate - Dubya has a degree from Yale and Harvard. Yeah, think about it. |

| Don't spend much time in TX do you. He's a fixture at Rangers and Mavs games, gets standing O's regularly. |

funny his name wasn't mentioned by his fellow Republicans during the last election 
(Clinton, OTH, was put to effective use by the winner in that race.) |
