• Grad School Survival Guide
• Attend a grad student support group, details on the UD Student Development & Counseling Page.

• Play pick-up ultimate with graduate students from other departments when the weather is nice (See Keith Trnka for more information)
• Use the Carpenter Sports Building, which has a pool, rock climbing wall, and student fitness center (the “Hen House”) and attend concerts and other events, since you pay the activities fee every semester anyway!
• There are lots of department-related groups to participate in: GSA, CISTERS, ACM
• Go to one of the nearby state parks, such as White Clay Creek or Lums Pond
• And more!

• The Charcoal Pit is a Delaware original that features char-grilled burgers and ice cream creations. There are three Charcoal Pit locations: Wilmington (on 202), Bear (on Rte 40), and Newark (on Kirkwood Highway).
• Deerhead Hot Dogs: you can get large hot dogs, which feature a special sauce.
• Jake's Hamburgers is a northern Delaware hamburger chain that also has great milkshakes.
• Grotto's Pizza is a pizza chain that started at Rehoboth Beach. The chain has evolved and is a popular bar/hangout on Main Street in Newark. The pizza may be an acquired taste.

And, of course, we have lots of great places to eat on Main Street, such as Home Grown, Caffe Gelato, and Iron Hill.

This site is now a Wiki. Details on proper wiki syntax can be found here, or you can use the handy buttons at the top of the editing pane.

If you are accessing this site from a CIS machine, you should be able to edit most pages. If you would like to make changes remotely (without first proxying through a CIS machine), you can create an account.

If you have the correct permissions, creating a new wiki page is as simple as adding a link to an existing page, clicking on it, and creating it! You’ll find out very quickly if you have the proper permissions – most users have permission to create new pages in the faq and forum namespaces. Also, be very careful about what you name your link, because it will become the name of the wiki file and be displayed in the upper right corner of the page.

Details on proper wiki syntax can be found here.

External and internal links use double square brackets, with the resource to be linked separated from the name of the link by a pipe:

[[http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:syntax|wiki syntax]]
[[:faq:general|FAQ]]

These links look like:
wiki syntax
FAQ

Namespaces are separated by a colon. Within a namespace you do not need to include the namespace name to link to general but I included it here for illustration.

Not only can you link to internal and external pages in the wiki, you can upload and link to internal files as well. All CIS users can upload files into the faq namespace.

To upload a file:

1. Click on the picture icon above the editing pane, fourth button from the right with a brown picture frame.
2. In the pop-up window, select the faq namespace.
3. Click on Browse to select a file to upload.
4. Optionally, give the file a more descriptive name

To link to a file, click on the filename in the pop-up window. Example syntax of a link to a pdf would be:

{{:faq:what_is_grad_school_about.pdf|What is grad school about?}}

And would look like: What is grad school about?
