If coming by air, many visitors will arrive from Philadelphia International Airport. It's just a 40-minute drive from the campus via I-95. Newark is also just over an hour away from Baltimore by car.
You can book a visit to the University of Delaware which offers an admissions talk and a guided tour by an existing student, giving an inside look at life here. There are also specialized sessions available for transfer students. The green lawns and mix of neoclassical and modern architecture offer an inspiring place to learn and thrive on campus.
Within the town, much of the commercial life of Newark is focused around Main Street which includes its bars and restaurants. This is also where you'll find many special boutiques for some retail therapy, or you can drive out to the Christiana Mall or White Clay Creek.
Just a 40-minute drive away, an extended stay in Newark can easily encompass a visit to "The City of Brotherly Love". See world-famous landmarks such as the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall which is where the US Constitution was adopted.
