Although a rather young institution, Wilmington University has made quite a name for itself as an important member of the region’s academic community since opening its doors in 1968. The main campus serves as the headquarters for a seven-facility system that serves Delaware, New Jersey, and Maryland. The WILMU campus sits in a quiet neighborhood just outside city limits of New Castle, a historic community on the banks of the Delaware River.
The Wilmington Airport is right next door, and a few choice eateries are close enough for you to drop in for lunch. The city of Wilmington is just fifteen minutes up the road, offering a great selection of unique restaurants, coffeehouses, entertainment venues, and nightlife options. The university also enjoys a fairly central location within easy weekend trip distance from Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. The area surrounding the campus is mostly residential, with numerous rental options available within a short walk of the major university buildings.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
