So I’m strongly considering Duke and Vanderbilt for my ED application and I was wondering what the social life was at Duke. I visited Vanderbilt and stayed overnight at Nashville, so I got a pretty good feeling of what it was like there. However, when I visited Duke, I stayed with a family friend and did not get a good feeling of what the social life was like there. So I guess my main questions are:

What do people do on Friday nights?
How easy is it to get to Durham?
What is there to do in Durham?

I know a big part of social life is basketball, football, and other sports which I am TOTALLY in to. So if anyone could shed any light on this, that would be great. I have both applications filled out and I’m ready to make my decision soon!
