<p>To answer Wneckid99’s questions:</p>
<p>what were your stats coming out of high school?
-I honestly don’t remember exactly… I sent my ACT score (34) and was in the top Decile of my graduating class. We didn’t rank, and our GPAs were out of some random number. I was just really, really involved on campus and in my community (2 season varsity athlete & captain, editor in chief of Yearbook, managing editor of newspaper, started a not-for-profit with a friend, interned at Rock the Vote, area all state chorus, leadership positions in other clubs, etc)</p>
<p>what is your favorite “fun” thing to do on campus?
-I’m really involved in Greek life, so stuff with my sorority, and frat parties that my friends’ frats are throwing. I’m also a huge fan of all the campus-wide events that the Union throws (lots of cocktail events, dress up – one was old south themed, one was at the library, stuff in the Nasher – all are SO nice, all are great opportunities to see a huge cross section of the student population, and they’re just FUN events). This year I’ve loved going to all the special “Senior class” events - we’ve had throwback parties at Parizade (a club that was hosted every Thurs night of our freshman year) and pub crawls, picnics, dinners, etc… all been fun. I always have fun at lacrosse games and watching basketball games with friends at home/sports bars (don’t get me wrong, Cameron is a ton of fun, but it’s incredible watching big games – even if they’re away games – with your friends. And if you can’t get into Cameron for the UNC game, or want to watch the away game, def go to a sports bar since it’s fun seeing the entire community get involved). I have friends in bands, and I LOVE going to go see them play.</p>
<p>what did you think about durham- since there isnt much to do in the actual city
-I’m from NYC and I actually really, really enjoyed Durham and there are cool things to do in the city. For starters, the restaurants in Durham are FABULOUS. There may not be a ton of bars/clubs/lounges, but there are enough, and while some may appear seedy, they’re a blast. Durham Bulls games (the minor league team) are cheap and fun, esp on college night. There’s the Carolina Theater which plays great movies, has film series and hosts a film festival – there’s also plays and it serves as a venue for bands on tour. Durham’s close to Chapel Hill which is a more quintessential college town, and you can get there free from campus on the Robertson Bus during the day and in the evening, but if you’re going out there at night, you’ll need a cab or a DD to get back to Duke. I’ll be the first to speak out about the Durham PD, just be smart and stay safe because they’re ruthless. And just in general - have street smarts. Don’t walk around late at night by yourself, especially if you’re drunk. Try and avoid going to an ATM alone at night. Exercise common sense, Durham can be a bit sketchy, but honestly, I can’t remember ever feeling unsafe here.</p>
