My BA was minted at UD, and the campus I remember (10 years ago) was 
quite nice.  Main Street in Newark (aka the "town next door") had many 
restaurants and stores ( www.captainbluehen.com was a favorite at the 
time :-).

On thing to consider is the proximity of available conference rooms to 
Main Street...  UD is definately a biking campus if you're stuck on the 
wrong end of it.  Of course, there do exist mini-retail food joints 
inside campus.

No major attractions exist, but its a nice setting, and major 
attractions make me feel rushed anyway.  Oh, and there *is* (was) a 
local movie theater on Main Street.
