特拉华大学的博士好吗？
1. 学校位置和周边环境
Trader Joe's， Costco， Target， Walmart， Home Depot， Starbucks， and many other stores are all less than a 5 minute drive away (and you get discounted member pricing at these retailers by using your UD ID). There is also an Amtrak station in Newark that takes you to Philly or Baltimore for easy access to major cities. As far as the weather goes， we go through pretty much every type of weather imaginable from snowstorms in January to 90+ degree days in summer. It does rain a lot here but it pours down so hard sometimes I wonder how anything can grow under those clouds.
2. Academics
The department where you will be working has about 30-40 grad students in total and you will have several classmates in your cohort who do not speak English fluently. Most classes are taught in English but with some help from the professor's translation app on your phone you should be able to understand everything just fine if you read， write， and converse slowly enough. You will definitely need to learn to read and write Chinese before you come though. The coursework for both the MS and Phd programs are mostly done online so you can work at your own pace and there is no need to worry about taking too many courses at once and burning yourself out.

I think this might be my favorite part. My cohort is made up of about 15 international students who are very motivated to learn. We spend our lunch breaks studying together或者talking about life as foreigners living in America. We eat dinner together most nights and occasionally go off campus to happy hours/barbecues/movie theaters. Because there are only two or three Americans in each class you really feel like you have made friends for life. One of my closest buddies is actually my Chinese tutor whom I met when I took Introduction to Chinese Culture last spring. Now we study together almost everyday and he helps me with my Mandarin in exchange for helping him with his English. We call each other “buddy” and meet up wherever we are going next（比如，他住在夏威夷而我即将去加州）---it's
