A PhD is a research degree, and even if you go on to become a lecturer, you are going to find it very hard to find a position that is specific enough to teaching social psychology. Usually lecturers don't get much of a choice in what they lecture.

My opinions on all the apartments I saw (I'll try to post more info when I have time): Glen Eagle Village: Spacious one bedrooms for a great price ($850-$875 a month). Seemingly nice and somewhat private community as you go a bit deeper. Well maintained and landscaped. Get a fully renovated apartment as they’re pretty awesome for only $20 more a month (bigger bathrooms and new kitchen). Also has a really nice balcony and you can have cats. Only downside was that the management was a bit unprofessional, but really personable! Oak Tree Apartments: A tiny bit cheaper than Glen Eagle ($790

Because that gives you so much credibility? OP in my opinion you are being a bit exclusive, but I sort of understand why. Perhaps if you do spend more time with them it will decrease the social stress at the very least.

Yeah I actually am checking out the following (probably a few more on a whim): Apts. at Pine Brook, Studio Green, Oak Tree Apartments, Glen Eagle Village, Colonial Garden Apartments, The Varsity Apartments. (probably will check out Conover, Rockwood, maybe a few others).

Hey everyone! Super excited to have committed to UDel psychology (behavioral neuroscience) PhD program next year! I absolutely adored them during the visit - everyone loved each other and the collaboration was awesome. Really hard decision as my other top choice was offering me a fellowship, but it just didn't feel like home quite as much as UDel did. Anyway, I am visiting again tomorrow as I am only an hour away. I was wondering if anyone else has committed to UDel yet (It's pretty early, but they acted fasted)!

I know how you feel. I just came home from an interview, and I loved so much about the program (and they loved me), but I think this one part of it might ruin it for me - I was certainly less excited coming home then going in. -
Your list is way too competitive for your stats (just being frank).
