1. There are hardly any restaurant options on Main Street.
I mean there’s HoneyGrow, Iron Hill Brewery, Home Grown, Del Pez, Caffe Gelato, Deer Park Tavern, Klondike Kate’s, Taverna, Grotto Pizza, El Diablo, California Tortilla, Snap, Chipotle and more. But is that really enough? And who would want to go to Klondike Kate’s on a Tuesday? Half price nachos. That sounds terrible! After dinner, what are you supposed to do for dessert? There’s only Insomnia Cookies, Duck Donuts, Dairy Queen, Dunkin’ Donuts and Yogurt City. I mean who would want to create their own donut or order cookies at 2 am?
2. No one is successful after leaving the University of Delaware.
Joe Biden and Jill Biden attended the University of Delaware but no big deal. It is not like he was the Vice President of the United States or anything....and Joe Flacco? It is definitely not cool at all that the Baltimore Ravens quarterback who has won a Super Bowl graduated from Delaware. Not to mention he is the only quarterback in NFL history to win a playoff game in each of his first five seasons. But, yet again, there is no way you can become successful with a degree from UD.
3. Delaware is in the middle of nowhere.
I mean we are 15 minutes from Wilmington and the Christiana Mall but that is pretty much it. Oh and 30 minutes from Philadelphia, and we are close to Baltimore, D.C. and NYC but who cares about that? Deserted campuses are so much better!
4. The Study Abroad options are so limited.
Yes, UD was the first university to ever run a study abroad program in 1923 but who cares? Yes, you can go to pretty much any country that could be of interest of you including Argentina, Australia and Paris but no big deal.
5. Being a Blue Hen is so stupid.
Who would want to go to a school with one of the few female mascots in the country?
