Listen to me, I’m from Chapel Hill. DURHAM SUCKS!!!
Duke is an amazing amazing school, but the area is horrible. There is nothing fun to do, it is honestly SCARY to leave campus, and the downtown (9th street) is pathetic. The Duke kids take buses to Franklin St. (the downtown area for UNC-CH) when they want a downtown. Evanston is a 1000000000000000000000000000000000000x better location to spend the next four years of your life.
Unless you like the idea of spending the next four years entirely on campus and not having a downtown and maybe not even a lax team…go to NU.
feel free to PM me, i’ve lived in NC for 10 years and I used to dance in durham + spent a lot of time on duke campus/in the area. the academics do not make up for horrible city of durham.
