🚨 Not Ideal For:
Prestige-maxers
UDel is strong but not nationally flashy; reputation is more regional than global.
Big-city seekers
Newark is quiet and cozy; it's not a cultural hub like NYC or DC itself.
Hyper-competitive types
this is more collaborative than cutthroat; success here is steady, not spiky.
Ultra-niche scholars
for highly specialized research fields, you may need to look to graduate programs.
Greek-life devotees
