Duke Senior taking questions

I have no other-college experiences to compare to, but singersmom makes some (seemingly) legitimate points. I could write a book on everything that’s wrong with how the Marketplace is run. I’m actually excited for the food points-only meal plan, but there’s admittedly little to offer for the more health-conscious (other than Whole Foods. singersmom, has your son/daughter tried there? It might be a bit of a hike, but that’s the place to go for organics). Regarding safety, I never really feel un-safe at Duke, but I do agree that Duke’s administration could do a lot better in their handling of incidents. And yes, RLHS at Duke has so far seemed very disorganized. The dorms look pretty, but (on East, at least) there’s always something to be desired once you step inside (except for Bell Tower…oh, Bell Tower…). Oh, and apparently my friend witnessed a cleaning staff dump everything from the recycling bins in our dorm into the trash bins. Hopefully that’s just anecdotal laziness, not anything administrative. By the way, does the Marketplace really compost our leftovers like they say they do? Just wondering.
