I HAD A FRIEND WHO WENT TO DUKE SHOW ME AROUND. THE CAMPUS IS VERY GOOD LOOKING. THE GOTHIC STRUCTURES AND THE MODERN NATURE OF DUKE IS OUTSTANDING! I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO TAKE THE TOUR.

My guide was nice and funny. She answered all questions that I or anyone else had. The campus was GORGEOUS! And there are so many neat things about Duke that no other college has.

Guide: dull. You could tell she loved Duke. Tour: short and covered just a tiny portion of West Campus. We had time to explore the rest of campus, though.

Our guide, a sophomore girl, was very funny and knowledgeable. She didn't take us inside any buildings, except the book store.

Have learned after going through this with son 3 years ago and now several tours with daughter to always go with the tour guide with the loudest voice.

It's a beautiful campus, but I went on spring break, so a lot of buildings and classes were locked. Luckily, my friend goes to Duke, so I was able to go into some science labs and libraries.

The campus was of course beautiful. The students gave the tours and they knew their stuff very well. We only had the chance to see West Campus, however. They neglected to show us East and Central.

There are no reservations for the tour/info session, so they weren't prepared for the large crowd that showed up -- only 4 tour guides. Ours didn't seem to stray from the script.

Loved what I saw of the campus (only visited West Campus). The student guide was also very helpful, although there was this stereotypical overachiever parent that was kinda annoying...lol oh well.

I walked all over the place by myself, which was quite thrilling, the weather in April is wonderful, and everything on campus is well within walking distances. Buildings are spread out, very spacious.

Lively, social student guide - said "Hi" to at least 3 students throughout the tour. Answered truthfully and knowledgeably any questions that came up. Hit most of the campus without being to

I took the tour in April (during my first visit). It was led by a freshman who wasn't super enthusiastic, but he was all right. The tour didn't cover East, though, which pfrosh should defini

If you aren't already in love with Duke then the Campus Tour will put you over the edge. This really is the most beautiful school in the country, and you can tell by seeing all the students interacting and having fun, that this is really the ultimat

The campus tour was also the best I've ever had. It is amazing to see all of the newest technology and best facilities around Duke. I believe that in this enviornment students will flourish and become great scholars, as the school aspires for them

Student-led, so it was an opportunity to see what Dukies love so much about their school. Very informative, and covers many aspects which would inter

Whirlwind speed but good. Visitors should see East Campus, not on the tour.
