Hi Duke people and alumni. This summer is going by really fast and I’m getting anxious about moving away. I don’t know what to expect on move in day at Duke besides leaving my family for a long time. I was very happy when I got accepted into one of my dream schools and a full scholarship to go there. With that, I would not let that opportunity pass and I’m the first in my family to attend college. I feel my parents can’t wait for me to move out so they don’t have to pay for my education and not worry about me. They never had the college experience so that’s why they can’t tell me anything about it but support me all the way. I knew Duke was right for me as soon as I got there for blue devil days but my parents did not come. They always tell me they’re glad to have a child who is capable of getting into Duke even though they can barely support me alone. I’m just wondering what to expect at Duke such as meeting my roommate for the first time, bringing linens, furniture, and etc.
