THEY WERE HAPPY TO TALK TO STUDENTS. THEY WANTED ME AT DUKE!

I had multiple ditz moments and got lost and came back to the same faculty at a table and they were still nice to me even though I seemed like a girl who can't follow a map. :)

I had little contact with staff, but they all seemed friendly and willing to talk with people and help out as much as possible.

The admissions office staff is very helpful, offering pamphlets, maps, directions to eating spots, etc.

Said all the right things but got an undertone of smugness and condescension. See note below.

The admissions officers were uncharacteristic of most admissions officers at prestigious universities. They were not snobbish at all. One of the officers took the time to talk to me for a full hour!

They were professional, but not particularly friendly.

Each staff member I met was kind and helpful at answering my questions.

Well, since they are essentially trying to attract potential students, this is kind of a given, but nevertheless, I never felt abandoned.

While walking behind the science buildings, a teacher asked if we were finding our way okay. He might have been more concerned about us poking our noses where we shouldn't have been, though!

I only spoke with one teacher (briefly), but she was nice enough, so I'll just give Duke a 5 in this area.

I felt like I was an actual student at Duke when I was speaking to the admissions people, instead of being just one of the thousands that come every year to tour the school.

I actually got to speak with the president, and some of the admissions staff. They were all extremely helpful and sincere. The financial aid people were also very helpful.

Not as outgoing as the students but still very nice and informative.
