DeWi

Hi there! I saw that you mentioned you live in Newark! I have just accepted my spot at U of Delaware, and wanted to see if you have any tips to pass along in terms of housing! I am from Philly, been out of school since 2009, and oddly enough I used to work at U of Delaware in the infant language lab- so I'm familiar with the campus. My boyfriend and I will be moving to Newark together (luckily he works in Chester, so he can keep his job!) and we both have cars. Do you think it will be possible to have a car and live near campus? I know the health sciences campus is a bit removed, and has a big parking lot, so that won't be an issue. But if I'd like to live closer to campus (specifically close to the swimming pool in the carpenter building!), do you think there's any possibility of finding a place with 2 designated parking spots? I'm very invested in swimming for my health, so that's why I'm interested in living close to the pool. However, if it would be too much of a hassle, maybe I would opt to live further away from campus if I could be close to a YMCA or JCC with a pool! (I know these are very specific needs! lol) Any other housing/living/Newark tips you have would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
