<p>Hey everyone, I just started at Duke this semester, and I think this thread needs a healthy dose of perspective. The students I’ve met so far are virtually all very nice, friendly people. Yes, there are a few ******bags (just like at every other college), but they’re definitely the exception rather than the norm.</p>
<p>On another note, there’s no need to attack the OP. He was just asking a question–it may seem like a silly question to those of us who are actually here, but given the media’s portrayal of Duke in the past few years, it’s an understandable misconception.</p>
