I am an ABSN student that started when everything was virtual due to COVID and I am only here for a year (keep this in mind). The campus is BEAUTIFUL and huge! The professors are really invested in your education. Parking is HORRIBLE if you do not time it right or try to get around without a parking pass. The parking lots are a good walk away from the buildings most of the time so add walking time to your commute if you are a grad student. Student Health is phenomenal. Cocoa Cinnamon is a great coffee shop that everyone should try at least once to get coffee (tea or hot chocolate) and churros. The city of Durham is beautiful so explore it if you get a chance.
Duke is a great school with tons of academic, extracurricular, and social opportunities for its students. Many of Duke's majors/minors are flexible and easy to combine, so I was able to study what truly interested me while still getting a well-rounded education. The strong level of professor engagement also sets Duke apart; I became close with many of my professors who served as mentors, advisors, and friends throughout college and even now after graduation. It's easy to get involved with research, study abroad, or engage in other opportunities that interest you. Duke has a diverse social scene, so there really is a place for everyone, but it can be challenging to navigate the selective organizations. There are hundreds of student groups to join, and most have strong social components too. The food and campus living environment are both superb, and the city of Durham is nearby and nice as well. Duke grads have numerous post-grad opportunities, and I was able to get a great job.
Amazing campus, one on one time with professors, small classes, lots of research opportunities, chill greek life, fun party scene, amazing food, close knit freshman dorm experience. Duke seriously cares about their students. They always have events like concerts, festivals etc for their students. My dean brought in a masseuse for finals week….
