Duke University is the ivy league of the south, with its Gothic architecture, old stately trees, two separate leafy campuses, a cathedral type church, and some modern renditions of neo-Gothic style.
Make time for a stroll under the arches and try to count all of the students you see wearing Duke gear. Actually it would be much easier to count the ones who aren't wearing something that says Duke- very faithful students!!
We visited the campus recently on a college tour. The campus, even in winter, is beautiful, with a park-like setting and beautiful buildings. Clearly, there is a lot of impressive research going on here and the student body is top notch. I will say that if basketball is NOT your thing, then you can cross Duke off your college list. The admissions officers gave a lot of "air time" to the basketball program in their talk, and even went so far as to say that Duke kids don't go oversees in the spring term (as is common at many schools) because "no one" wants to miss the basketball season. This was perhaps the most telling comment of the whole two-hour tour; which is incredibly useful for students trying to figure out where to apply. Obviously, if you love basketball, this is a campus culture that supports their team and it will be a great fit (if you can get in!).
First visit here, we were amazed by the size and beauty of the campus. People were friendly and helped us to not get lost, or rather helped us get un-lost after we got lost, well not lost but misdirected. I am only sad, I am done university because I would try to enroll immediately. Loved it here.
On our trip to DBAP , we toured Duke University. Stopped & went inside Basketball Arena ( Amazing ) , Saw Baseball field , Drove past Chapel . Awesome sights.
Lucky to live in North Carolina and have one of the best hospitals in the world just hours away from your home. It appears everyone you meet there from doctors to nurses are some of the tops in their fields. Their resumes are impeccable and very impressive.
出差的地方离杜克大学很近,于是一行人开车去参观了一下。正好赶上了学校的毕业典礼,停车废了一番功夫。走进校园非常热闹,能感受到美国校园文化感觉很棒。中午在学生食堂里吃了一顿美式中餐。还在宿舍间穿行,是非常好的一次体验。
Great place. Top professionals at Duke Medical Center Caring, Very clean but the entire staff from MD's to housekeeping are great
Duke University has a special place in our heart as our oldest attended here. Be sure to see Cameron indoor Stadium and the Chapel. The Bryant Student Center has many new improvements. Walk through the Quad at night. Magical.
Not only is this one of the nation's best universities, it is also the home of the Duke Blue Devils and their #1 Coach. I just can't say enough good things about this university.
