2 - Fair	p_hp_fan April 09 2008	I didn't see much of the city. It looked...not so great. Although Duke is in the midst of Durham, it feels quite isolated. I felt a great sense of atmosphere on campus, despite the surrounding [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	pandraagon April 17 2007	Very friendly atmosphere of smart intellectuals. Even at 3am in the morning where normal people are asleep, you can still find groups of students studying or doing a project. [View Full Report]

2 - Fair	collegedude August 09 2006	I loved Duke, but I hated Durham. Perhaps I drove through the wrong part of town, but I was amazed that such a poor town could be the home to such an excellent University such as Duke. That was just my first impression of the town and perhaps it will ch [View Full Report]
