Why Duke?

I chose Duke because I knew it was a place where I could push myself academically and still enjoy being a college student. A strong sense of school spirit is abundant on campus and the student body is so enthusiastic and inviting. Duke is a place where I know I will have a strong support system both academically and socially; it is the perfect work-hard, play-hard balance. I am incredibly excited for the next four years here at Duke University.
