Dear Friends,
I hope everyone is doing well! I am freezing my butt off in an apartment without any heat, so it has been dandy so far. Anyways, Today I wanted to share some fun ideas for anyone that goes to the University of Delaware. There are many fun things to do on campus, whether you've been here for a few months or years. Newark has got a lot to offer, and you might as well explore it while you're living here for a few years. Here are my five favorite things to do on campus at UD.
1. Go to the Hen Zone.
The Hen Zone is a very fun place to visit on campus. From pool tables to various video game consoles, you can keep yourself entertained for a quite a while. If you're bored after getting dinner at CR, then you should go relax with some friends at the Hen Zone! They have board games, air hockey, fuse ball, ping pong tables, and so many other fun activities to try! Also, it's free! All you need is your UD ID and you can play whatever is available there. Seriously, I think the Hen Zone is underrated.
2. Chill out on the Harrington Turf.
This may not be a great thing to do right now with the cold weather, but when it is nice out the Harrington Turf is such nice place to sit and relax. Grab a towel/blanket, some snacks, maybe a football, and just enjoy the outdoors. In the spring semester it is the perfect place to go be outside. You can watch people play games, or grab a Subway sandwich at the P.O.D. if you're feeling hungry. You can even do work out there if you feel like it! The Turf is a great place just to get away from all the stress and work from classes. When it snows, you best believe it is a perfect place to build a snowman and have a snowball fight. Try it, seriously.
3. Get a snack at Perkins Student Center.
Perkins Student Center is usually always buzzing. You can sit in the Scrounge and grab a bite to eat! Whether it's Dunkin' or getting a burger with curly fries, this is a great place to get a quick snack between classes. I usually go here before some rehearsals or my lab to grab a coffee and chill with friends. You can chill in any of the lounges, or even sit in the lower level where they have tons of seats! It's a fantastic place to get work done if you really want to get out of the dorms/apartment. Perkins is the place to be friends.
4. Explore Main Street.
Main Street has so much to offer. There's Cheeburger Cheeburger, El Diablo, Chipotle, Barnes and Noble, Grotto's, Walgreens, 7/11, Brew Ha Ha, and so many other restaurants and stores. If you feel like having a meal somewhere besides the dining halls, definitely try out something on Main Street. Deer Park always has specials during the week such as half off burgers on Tuesdays or half apps on Mondays! There are so many options for eating food on this busy street, and there's also cute little stores to check out! Go get a haircut or go check out the surprisingly interesting board game store called Days of Knights. There are a lot of things that you can do here, so go check it out!
5. Get Some Chick Fil A at Trabant.
Ah Trabant. A great place to grab a meal after classes or to just sit and do nothing. If you are a fan of Chick Fil A, this is the place to be. They have that, burgers, subs, pizza, and other assortments of snacks and drinks. What's really great about this is that during the week from 8pm-11pm you can get something from Chick Fil A or Burger Studio using a meal swipe! No points necessary, just one meal swipe and you got yourself a sandwich, fries, and a medium sized fountain drink. It is the most beautiful thing that UD has offered the students in a long time if you ask me. Seriously, go use that meal exchange during the week. It is worth the walk.
Well, that's that! I hope you all enjoyed this article whether you go to UD or not. Maybe this will get people interested in visiting UD as a possible college option. Who knows. Anyways, I hope you all have an amazing day, and enjoy your week!
Your Friend,
Al
