<p>I am considering Duke, I know that they are pretty good with students starting undecided. Could anyone explain to me briefly what undecided life is like at Duke right away and how good their advising is?</p>

<p>I might come back a little later and post some more, but this is a good read here about how advising works at Duke. You are assigned a general, pre-major advisor in your first two years, and you are encouraged to take (in Trinity) a broad, liberal-arts based curriculumn in a variety of departments. To be honest, everybody takes a lot of everything in their first two years anyways; being undecided at Duke isn’t necessarily any different than having a major (and then switching it six times).</p>
<p>You’re exactly right, purple corn.</p>
<p>unijayhawk: I respectfully suggest that if one has the blessing and the privilege of attending Trinity, he would be quite foolish to not use his first years to explore widely the outstanding intellectual smorgasbord that is readily available. Moreover, how certain are most late-teens that their future will unquestionably be closely tied to “x” discipline?</p>
