Fabulously situated mid-way between NYC and DC and conveniently near to the PHL airport, Delaware is a hidden mid-Atlantic gem. With fabulous state parks, great transportation to major cities, great comparative values in housing, property and sales (0%) taxes, many find it an ideal place to live. UD colleagues live in Wilmington DE, Philadelphia, Baltimore as well as close by in Newark, DE where UD's campus is located. As a committed long-term LA city girl for years, I've been delighted by the change. Though I'm not in the department (and can offer no insight into the search process), if you have questions about the institution or area, please feel free to contact me at gforeman@udel.edu.
