UD in the News—Oct. 14, 2003

12:10 p.m., Oct. 14, 2003--The Oct. 12 Washington Times follows a New Hope, Pa., high school senior in a story on college admissions and the University of Delaware is among her visits. The story notes that while web tours are helpful, an actual campus visit can provide key information: “In other words, walking the paths, talking to students, even eating the cafeteria food, can be the deciding factor between College A and University B. Kim is figuring that out. At Delaware, she liked the buildings and thought the people were friendly. At Lehigh, the students seemed ‘serious,’ and there were too many hills to climb on campus, she says. Still, she is waiting for the intangible feeling that her sister, Krista, got when she visited James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va.”
