A free-speaking podcast where you will get a behind-the-scenes look at the University of Delaware from three recent graduates who spent their time exploring every corner of their school. From your first day of classes to the day you walk across the stage, we will share our stories, what we have learned, and the best ways to love your four years at UD. We will cover living with roommates, professors to avoid, and where to find the best drinks, to name a few. Everyone from incoming freshmen to graduating seniors can laugh at our stories and mistakes and learn something new about their school.

Ross Bienstock, Claudia Meyer-Maaseidvaag, Jaylen Surrency
