<p>I have a close friend at Duke doing Pre-med and she said the advising there is awesome. Duke’s hospital is on campus (like UVa) and she said there’s always opportunities for research/volunteer/clinical stuff, and she said some professors give extra credit for those things. I get the impression her classes are small and professors are always willing to help, as are other students. As for classes, she’s spending her time balancing her pre-med classes and other classes, all of which she likes. She loves Duke life, and the social life is pretty broad.
I personall love UVa, but she loves Duke more than any UVA friend can tell me, sooo. I would visit both campuses and go from there =)</p>
