Senator Noodles knows what she’s talking about!!
Most people at Duke are very nice and friendly.

Rolling Stone helped fuel its reputation a little bit, at least for me when I was looking at colleges.

My main piece of advice is that if once you arrive at Duke that you are dissatisfied with your experience- you must be proactive and work on changing it. Figure out what’s wrong and take the necessary steps. If I didn’t do that myself, I may have been completely absorbed in the ‘social-status seeking culture’ which bothered me so much or, at the very least, not have the awesome friends I have now.
