What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year at Duke University?

Alfreda

I wish I had known that college costs this much. I'm getting financial aid but it's still hard coming from a working class family and trying to fit in around so many wealthy people.

Richard

Nothing

Edward

I had wanted to do theatre and not pre-med, and would have gone to another school

Claire

I wish I had known how focused it was on Greek life, how small it feels, and how little the student body appreciates the arts. Had I known this, I would have chosen to go to a bigger school with more student appreciation for the arts and more opportunities for socializing other than the same old frat parties.

Lawrence

I wish I had known that I did not want to study engineering and had enrolled at Duke with just an economics major.

Alanna

The atmosphere of the sudent body, and the super strong focus on accomplishments.

Lida

study harder when i was a freshman!
