Updates regarding "Will I get into UD with these stats" posts and creation of Rule 4

41 Upvotes

The overwhelming majority of you guys believe these types of posts should not belong on this sub, so effective immediately, all future posts with the format listed above will be removed from the sub.

I encourage these prospective students to look at other resources online to help gauge their chances of getting into UD. Here is the page dedicated to average acceptances for first-year students from the University itself. Many other websites exist as well which summarize the likelihood of admission to various universities.

[Housing] Incoming male PhD student looking for a room near campus (long-term)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm an incoming male PhD student at UD, arriving from China this summer. I'm looking for a bedroom in a quiet house and community near campus - my PhD program runs about four years, so I'd be a stable tenant.

A bit about me: quiet, tidy, non-smoker. My expected routine is pretty simple - on campus during the day, studying at home in the evenings and on weekends.

What I need: one bedroom with access to a bathroom and kitchen.

What I can offer: rent payments, help with household chores, and - if you're interested - I'd love to share some Chinese culture and cooking with you.

If you have a room available, know someone who does, or just have advice on where to look, please message me here or text me at 509-595-0128. Thanks so much!

Safe apartment recommendations near the University of Delaware for an incoming postdoc?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ll be moving to Newark, Delaware, to start a postdoc position at the University of Delaware. I’m looking for either a studio or a one-bedroom/one-bathroom apartment in a safe and relatively quiet area.

Ideally, I’d like to be within a reasonable driving distance of campus and have parking available. 

Which apartment complexes or neighborhoods would you recommend? I would also appreciate hearing about places or management companies I should avoid, as well as any hidden fees, safety concerns, or utility costs I should know about.

Thank you!

If anyone is struggling with Calc, Physics, or Engineering this fall, I’m happy to help.

I’m a recent UD Mechanical Engineering grad and current ACT tutor, and I’ve worked with a lot of UD students on problem‑solving strategies and exam prep.

If you want someone to go through homework, explain concepts, or help prep for exams, feel free to DM me. I can meet on campus or online.

Good luck this semester — these classes can be rough, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you need support.

Laptop for Engineering

5 Upvotes

Hello, Im an incoming freshman and got accepted into the Chemical Engineering program. I am having a difficult time choosing a laptop for the program as they're either ridiculously expensive or have relatively bad reviews(I'm using the requirements posted) so I was wondering if any other engineering students, especially ChemE students could give me some recommendations, thank you.

[$731] [Room with private bath]  [Available starting August, lease can be renewed in September]

0 Upvotes

My roommate and I are looking for another girl to live with us at our 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment! 

It includes 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. 
Everything is furnished except your bedroom! However, the roommate moving out has furniture to sell (see below for details). If you’re interested, you won’t need to move furniture in.
You have your own private bathroom that connects to your room.

📍[Location] The Reserve at Forest Gate. Our building is right next to the entrance. 

🏘[Public Amenities] Gym right on the 1st floor of our building, outdoor pool, free and ample parking in front of the building

🛍[Neighborhood] This is a residential area so it feels pretty safe to walk around, even at night. Shoprite is a 2-minute drive. Walmart is a 9-minute drive. Walgreens 2-minute drive. University of Delaware is a 10-minute drive.

[Price] Rent is $731/month not including utilities, but the most you’d have to pay for utilities would just be a little over $100 (during the winter due to heating)

Room Info

  1. Outside-facing window, the room is well ventilated and bright
  2. Carpeted floor
  3. Bathroom is squeaky clean! Has a sink and a bathtub. 
  4. Walk-in closet
  5. Furniture to sell already in your room: a full-size bed and bed frame, a coffee table, a desk, a bookshelf, and a desk drawer (message for prices and pics)

Apartment Info

  1. Carpeted floors except for the kitchen and bathroom
  2. Big washer and dryer within our apartment
  3. Living room has a sofa, dining table, chairs, and connects to a balcony
  4. Kitchen equipped with an electric stove, microwave, oven, pressure cooker, stand mixer, steamer, 2 refrigerators, kettle, pots and pans, dishes, cutlery, etc (basically has everything already)

🚫[Special Note] No smoking! You can bring friends home to stay over but no more than a week in one month (open to discussion).

We all have our own jobs/studying to do and busy schedules so we hope to find people who love cleanliness and are willing to take care of shared spaces. My roommate and I are both very willing to communicate if any issues arise! We tend to chat a little after work/school but we also respect each other’s downtime.

☎ [Contact] Message me for photos, viewing, details, or any question you may have!

Hi! I’m Julia and I’m incoming masters student this Fall. I don’t have a car, so I’m interested in places that are in walkable distance to UD. I would also prefer to have girl roommates. I’m quiet and introverted. If anyone is subleasing their room, please let me know!

STAT670 w/ Professor Bryan Crissinger

1 Upvotes

Has anyone taken a statistics class with Dr. Bryan Crissinger? I'm considering taking his class this coming semester, but looking at his reviews on Rate My Professor, there seem to be a lot of mixed experiences. For context, my only statistics background is STAT200 and Calc I-II, so I'm apprehensive about taking a difficult statistics class with a professor who has 100+ negative ratings (but there are 100 5-star ratings too?). I'd appreciate any guidance.

Organ learning resources at UD?

3 Upvotes

Hello all; I’m currently a rising sophomore (engineering major) and as title suggests am looking to start learning the pipe organ. As it’s getting later in the summer, I am hoping to find someone once I’m back at UD. I’ve been looking around for where to find lessons etc., and have largely been coming up empty.

I briefly considered an Applied Music minor with organ concentration, but (correct me if I’m wrong) it looks like that minor is intended for people coming in with some prior experience on the instrument, so not for me.

I know it’s probably a long shot, but I figured I’d ask around here just in case: Does anyone know of any opportunities for organ lessons in the local Newark area, or ways I can get involved with organ coursework/lessons/etc. in the school of music without being a music major? Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!

During your Group advising appointment, does your advisor air out your math placement score in front a bunch of people?

Ok so I’m an incoming psych major, and honestly, I didn’t take the placement test seriously and did really bad. My advisor only has group advising appointments available so I was wondering if I was going to get flamed in front of everyone😭?

I’m really into fight songs and marching bands, and I was watching Delaware’s pregame, but they played this and I’ve never heard it before; I can’t find what it’s called so it’d be great if y’all could tell me!
