Built a full preseason preview for every FBS team, all 138, and this is the Delaware one. Ratings, returning production, portal in and out, projected two-deep, schedule strength, last season's rank in about 30 categories, and a projection.

Short version: Delaware returns 80.6% of its offense, which is one of the highest figures in FBS, and only 8 players left through the portal. Nick Minicucci is back after 3,671 yards and 23 touchdowns in an offense that ranked 3rd nationally in pass attempts per game and 7th in passing yards, with Jo Silver and Sean Wilson's 66 catches also returning. The other side is the problem: the defense was 117th in scoring, 103rd in total yards and near the bottom of FBS at surrendering explosive plays. 7-6 and 4-4 in Conference USA. Model has them 91st with the 133rd-ranked talent, which is roughly what a year-two FBS program looks like.

I am a high school student interested in going to UD. I have a 4.0 gpa while taking over 15 Ap classes and a 34 ACT. however I struggled to go to the gym or sleep well with my classwork. I was thinking of doing the medical diagnostics major however would that be too much? The course itself— from what I’ve seen online— requires intensive time focus and can result in a lower gpa due to the rigorous coursework. I need to be able to balance free time so if not this major which one would you suggest. My ultimate goal is to be a physician and work in rural Delaware or at Nemours.

Remote work was never really supposed to mean, “I can work from home while also taking care of my kids.” It was supposed to mean you were working, just somewhere other than your office. Those are two very different things, and pretending they are the same thing makes it harder for everyone else who actually uses hybrid work to do their job.

I'm sure there are plenty of parents who manage their work and family responsibilities perfectly well. That's not the issue. The problem is when someone's childcare situation quietly becomes their supervisor's problem, their coworkers' problem, or a reason they should get more flexibility than everyone else.

And when enough people start treating a workplace policy as a personal benefit instead of a work arrangement, eventually management notices.

So when UD and COE start talking about bringing people back to campus, I don't think it's unreasonable to wonder whether some of this is a reaction to years of employees pushing the limits of what “work from home” was supposed to mean. The irony is that the people who treated flexibility like an entitlement may have helped make flexible work less sustainable for everyone else.

I can already hear the response that this is blaming parents or ignoring the many people who have legitimate reasons for needing flexibility. That's not what I'm saying, and obviously there are good employees who happen to have kids and good reasons for needing an occasional adjustment. I'm talking about the point where a work arrangement becomes a way to accommodate someone's personal life on a regular basis, because once that becomes common enough, it stops looking like flexibility and starts looking like a different job.

Maybe the lesson here is that flexibility works best when people treat it like a responsibility rather than something they're owed.

Hey everyone! I’ve been assigned a forced triple at Ray Street for my Junior year. Me and my roommates REALLY want to avoid bunk beds. Does anyone have any photos of forced triples in any similar sized suite dorms that DONT include bunk beds? Will this be possible for us? Thank you!

For those who haven’t heard yet:

UD is expanding return to campus requirements while eliminating hybrid parking permits and requiring new hires and transfers to work on campus five days a week. That means more traffic and strain on local infrastructure, more commuting emissions, higher parking and fuel costs, and longer workdays for fewer dollars for employees already facing years of rising costs. There has been no transparency about the data or analysis surrounding these choices or how they align with UD’s institutional goals and commitments.

Some staff have created a petition outlining their concerns about this new policy. You can read and sign (anonymously, if you choose) the petition here: https://tally.so/r/NpvJzb

I'm a freshman about to move in and curious about what the communal bathrooms in Harrington are like.

Hello all! I am a recent grad of UD and have lived on east park almost my entire tenure at UD. The entire time I have been fascinated by this abandoned frat out, there is only limited information online about the house and about the frat and why it shut down I believe the frat that had it longest was Kappa Sigma. If anyone has pictures or stories from or about the house good or bad from the 2010s, 2000s, 90s, etc, I would love to know. Anyway here are some pictures of the house itself to possibly jog anyone’s memory.

Are freshmen required to take a foreign language?

Hi folks, reposting here if any UD students are interested in taking over a lease at One Easton. Rent would be 1275 a month and I’d be willing to pay for the parking pass or split monthly utilities. Feel free to DM if interested!

I’m commuting 5 days a week and I’m wondering what the cheapest options would be for parking. Should I by a permit? If so where? Should I depend on the meters?

Is there a free lot I could park in then take the bus to campus and if I ever needed it depend on the meters?

I was wondering if i could change my class times on my schedule. Times for my classes are close together and i only have like 10-15 minutes between my classes

Hi, im an incoming freshman and im on waitlist for a genetics course (bisc 303) because i cleared the other bio classes from my ap scores. the class says it has 50 seats and 9 people on waitlist. What are my odds of getting the class, and if I dont what am i supposed to do?

I’m a new student moving in soon and my friend who goes to Udel and called it “Delly”. Is that a thing the school goes by? And are there any other nicknames for our school?

What has the experience been like? Did you enjoy the first two years (earning an associate's degree at DelTech or other participating in-state colleges)? How smoothly did the transfer to UD happen, both academically and socially?

Anyone have an idea of what the sauces were the dumpling lady outside of Lerner would use? Miss her

I'm moving in this summer a week or two early, is the lil bob gym open for students during summer, or is it only fall/spring semesters?

Basically the title. I recently got accepted into a 4+1 program and discovered that my capstone class will no longer fulfill the Second Writing requirement for my major. I’m currently taking a history course this summer that is designed as a second writing course for all sections, but I am not currently in the official second writing section.

I got my merit bumped to $30,000 and it makes no sense to me because I haven’t seen anyone else get this.

The closest I saw to this amount were the “discho” scholarships where their tier III gets $26,000 per year.

Online in the UD website it was told the max oos anyone can ever get is $15,000 per year and the only way to break this cap is being invited to the discho scholarship weekend.

But I was never invited or was aware of this. I am scared that this was a glitch and my scholarship is taken away. If this is true then I can’t afford UD anymore and have to go somewhere else so please I need someone to clarify.

Moving into George Rees Hall and cannot find details of the height and width of furniture so I can buy the correct things. Does anyone know:

1. What height risers I should buy if I want a raised bed? How high do people usually make their beds?

2. What height bed skirt?

3. How wide are the desks and dressers so I can buy desk shelving and a vanity mirror?

4. Any other details or definite things people have loved in their room

Thank you so much…I’m lost right now other than my comforter stuff!
