Hi guys! So, recently there’s been a lot of talk about the athlete culture at various institutions, Duke being one of them, highlighted by Karen Owen’s “senior thesis” going viral. I was just wondering if any of you guys could clarify something for me - Duke is one of my top choice schools, but at the same time, it worries me that apparently athletes are treated so much better than normal students. So I guess my question is: ARE athletes considered superior to everyone else at the school?
