The Newman Guide calls UD one of the "joyfully Catholic" schools. As an English major, I am impressed by the description of what appears to be an excellent program offered in English literature. While approximately three fourths of U.S. colleges/universities today have dropped Shakespeare, Milton, etc. from the curriculum and replaced them with all kinds of politically correct nonsense, UD offers a solid program that even includes a course on the writings of St. Thomas More. No women's gender studies and feminist claptrap has invaded the course offerings. Prospective English majors could comfortably ignore Phyllis Schlafly's warning to avoid the English Department at all costs. The great literature of the English-speaking world is still the core study at UD.
A visit to the rest of the UD website is a joy as well. The activities calendar includes a commitment to charity with creative and fun ideas for raising money for the less fortunate. The annual Groundhog Day festivities sound like a blast (as we used to say). The school's mission statement focuses on education for truth from a Catholic perspective, a truly alien idea in a culture where most students are taught to believe truth is relative and absolute truth non-existent.
I have several friends whose children have attended UD and they are now young marrieds loving and practicing the faith and passing it on to a new generation. They speak fondly of their college experiences. What better reference can one give than that.
