WHY DELAWARE?
"As soon as I stepped foot on campus for the first time, UD felt like home. There was an immediate strong sense of community and I was extremely impressed by what the university had to offer. The college town setting, state school atmosphere, cutting edge athletic facilities and the wide variety of offered majors were all factors that drew me in. Right away, Delaware felt like a welcoming and inspiring environment where I could excel with my academics as well as lacrosse."
