From the picturesque green with bricks buildings and white columns to the tailgating before football games, being a student at the University of Delaware seems like it came straight from a movie depicting college life. Originally founded in 1743, the University of Delaware traces its roots to a Presbyterian minister by the name of Francis Allison.

The school is medium sized with around 16,000 undergraduate students and 3,500 graduate students. However, this school is the largest university in Delaware and its main campus can be found in Newark, while additional satellite campuses can be found in the towns near by.

For those on the outside looking in, understanding the lifestyle of a University of Delaware student might not be plausible. This school has a very high concentration in research activity and is known for its great programs in engineering, science, business, hospitality management, education, urban affairs and public policy.

The student life is great and these kids really know how to party. Although the school doesn’t really have any sports teams to brag about, the students make up for it in the tailgates, house parties, bars and restaurants on Main Street and other events that allow them to just rage.
