Delaware State University
Standing on a historic piece of land along North DuPont Highway in Dover, Delaware, the Delaware State University has grown from its former 100-acre self-contained campus to the present 400-acre community-like complex that still houses its old historic buildings like the Loockerman Hall which was restored from the 1700s.
