Duke University Top Questions

There are three key items that my school is most well known for: sports, academics, and tenting. Of course, the most prominent of Duke's sports is basketball. It seems like everybody knows something about Duke Basketball despite not knowing anything about Duke or even about basketball. On the other hand, Duke is one of the hardest schools to get into in the country because of its intensive and rigorous academic regimen. Finally, anyone familiar with Duke Basketball will surely know a thing or two about the Cameron Crazies that tent in order to attend the Duke-UNC rivalry game.

Duke is known for its academics and its basketball team. When you graduate you'll realize that more people care about the latter than the former, although a Duke degree does get you far, especially with Duke's vast alumni network. Duke's undegraduate engineering department is particularly strong while the quality of its liberal arts departments can vary substantially. Engineering students frequently accept high-paying industry jobs upon graduation. Duke also has an excellent Divinity School of which self-directed undergraduates can take advantage.
