Commencement

I have a genuine question about this Saturday. They said that commencement is a rain or shine event. What does that means for the graduates? Am I just getting rain on. Cause my family asking if I really need to go (as well as are they getting straight rained on). And I’m actually thinking of now not going if I’m straight getting rained on (especially after decorating my cap).

Convocation Rules

Hi, everyone! I'll be graduating and going to the Lerner Convocation this week, and I had a couple questions.

I read in the UD email that no bags are allowed, but then I saw on FaceBook that 16x16 in back are allowed? Is that the case? If not, do I just go up there to receive the paper while holding my phone at the same time (I won't have pockets)?

Secondly, will they be calling out names in alphabetical order going through departments (e.g., first all accounting majors, then all finance majors, and so on)?

Thank you for any help!

Apartment recs

Looking for graduate housing apartment, person prefers solo living and has no car. Hunters crossing reviews have been awful - but they are two years old. Anyone currently living in hunters crossing that can share more info about conditions? Same for Abby walk. Varsity townhouse has a few available, but that seems like it might be loud. Seems hard to find a studio/1 bedroom close to campus. Thanks!

Scholarship and job opportunities

Hi yall,

I am transferring to UD and starting from fall. Do transfer students have less transfer scholarship opportunity? I talked with financial aid but wasn't that helpful.

For jobs, how easy is it to find some jobs within UD and student related jobs?

Please advise, thank you.

Deciding between UD or USC

Hi everyone, as you can see in the title I am deciding between UD or UofSC. Im am an accounting major and interested in greek life. UD comes in around 37k per year while UofSC comes in around 44k per year. Is the Darla Moore school of business that much better than the Lerner school of business to spend that much money to go there. Any tips would be appreciated

Deciding between University of Delaware or University of south carolina

Hi everyone, as you can see in the title I am deciding between UDel or UofSC. Im am an accounting major and interested in greek life. The problem is the tuition prices. UDel comes in around 37k per year while UofSC comes in around 67k per year. Is the Darla Moore school of business that much better than the Lerner school of business to spend that much money to go there. Any tips would be appreciated

International student accepted into University of Delaware trying to make graduate school financially possible

A few months ago, I was accepted into the Financial Services Analytics master’s program at the University of Delaware with a partial scholarship.

Since then, I’ve been trying to figure out how to realistically make graduate school possible financially as an international student while continuing to work and pursue opportunities in analytics and finance.

Like many students, I’ve been exploring scholarships, organizations, networking opportunities, and different ways to cover the very high costs associated with graduate education in the U.S., especially once housing, health insurance, transportation, and living expenses are included.

Recently, I decided to start a GoFundMe campaign while continuing to look for guidance, connections, and advice from people who may have gone through similar situations, especially international or first-generation graduate students.

At this point, I’m honestly looking as much for visibility, advice, networking, and recommendations as I am for financial support.

If anyone has suggestions regarding organizations, outreach strategies, professional connections, or ways to expand visibility for situations like this, I would sincerely appreciate it.

And if anyone is interested, this is the campaign I recently launched:

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Parking Permit

I have a parking permit for the university courtyard apartments, but my car is getting work done and I’ll have a rental for the week. I know you can’t transfer permits so does anyone know if there’s something like a temporary pass if I contact parking services? I really don’t want to have to pay a ton of extra money on the passport app when I already paid almost $800 for a permit :/
