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.
