I’m trying to room with someone outside my quad connection - how long does the appeal usually have to be and what are the chances in general for getting approved?

Does anyone know if Freshmen at Duke or UNC who applied to the Robertson have heard back? Or if any first years in the past know more about the process and timeline? There’s a lot online about seniors but not first years.

I have a lease expiring in May and am looking for roommates to rent starting in/around June. I am not a graduate student, but I graduated from my undergrad last year, so I am a similar age. I am working at a small software company nearby. I have a motivated and frugal mindset, and prefer international student roommates. I’m almost never in the room. Feel free to comment or DM

Anybody on here trying to sell 2 tickets to any of the next games for Duke? Insanely priced on StubHub, etc. Anyone recommend anything? Thanks

I love food and it can really help me decide whether I go to duke or not.

Hi! Looking to maybe do the MESS FOCUS program. Can anyone tell me what dorm they are in? Does it change every year? Thanks!

STATEMENT FROM THE LOBACH FAMILY

We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Rebecca. She was a bright star in all our lives. She was kind, generous, brilliant, funny, ambitious and strong. No one dreamed bigger or worked harder to achieve her goals.

Rebecca began her career in the United States Army as a distinguished military graduate in ROTC at the University of North Carolina, and was in the top 20% of cadets nationwide. She achieved the rank of Captain, having twice served as a Platoon Leader and as a Company Executive Officer in the 12th Aviation Battalion, Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. With more than 450 hours of flight time, she earned certification as a pilot-in-command after extensive testing by the most senior and experienced pilots in her battalion.

Rebecca was a warrior and would not hesitate to defend her country in battle. But she was as graceful as she was fierce: in addition to her duties as an Army aviator, Rebecca was honored to serve as a White House Military Social Aide, volunteering to support the President and First Lady in hosting countless White House events, including ceremonies awarding the Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Rebecca cared about people, and she extended to individuals the same fearless defense she gave to this nation. She was proud of the difference she made as a certified Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) Victim Advocate and hoped to continue her education so she could serve this country as a physician when her time with the Army ended. She once said, "My experiences with SHARP have reinforced my resolve to serve others with compassion, understanding, and the resources necessary for healing."

Rebecca was many things. She was a daughter, sister, partner, and friend. She was a servant, a caregiver, an advocate. Most of all, she loved and was loved. Her life was short, but she made a difference in the lives of all who knew her. Our hearts break for the other families who have lost loved ones in this national tragedy and we mourn with them.

We request that you please respect our privacy as we grieve this devastating loss.

Hello good people, I'm about to publish my manuscript but I have a publisher who is quite adamant on wanting an iThenticate report. The iThenticate software is a plagiarism detection tool just like Turnitin.

Unfortunately, my institution only offers Turnitin and does not offer iThenticate. Some institutions like Duke University do.

I'm thus appealing to any of you great people who wishes to assist by running my manuscript through iThenticate and generating the report which I can send to my publisher. I'm really in a fix and I don't mind returning the favor by offering a few bucks. You can message me or just comment here and I will message back. Thank you in advance.

If you are ok full financial aid and studied abroad can you please explain your experience in terms of getting funding? They said they don’t give checks till July which is quite scary but I don’t know. Would appreciate any help

Hello Blue Devils, Cal fan coming in peace. I’m working on a Calgorithm project that’s OG NES themed and part of it involves doing 8 bit arrangements of our 2025 opponent’s fight songs. I was curious if anyone on here has connections or access to band sheet music of your fight song and would be willing to share. I’ll even post the finished the product when I’m done. I really only need like 7 or 8 seconds-worth but I don’t believe in doing stuff half-ass and it’s actually been really fun.

From The Assembly:

"As best as Alex Galonsky can remember, diddukewin.com started because he missed coding.

It was 2010, and he was a Duke University junior spending the semester in Kunming, the capital of China’s Yunnan Province, for an intensive Chinese language and culture program. Galonsky was a computer science major, but there were no classes in the subject he could take while studying abroad.

Around the same time, Galonsky happened upon isitchristmas.com, a bare-bones website that gives nothing more than a yes or no answer to its titular question. He thought it was funny, then he thought of a Duke-centric homage. Once he found a deal that let him register the domain name for $1, “Did Duke Win?” was born. 

The site, and related social media accounts, answers its own titular question about Duke men’s basketball games in the same pared-down fashion. 

“It was mostly a lark,” Galonsky said. 

He had no idea he’d still be updating the website 15 years later, much less that the bulk of its visitors would be fans gloating about the—admittedly infrequent—Duke losses by sharing the website’s big, glaring “NO” across social media."

Hi, I was hoping that someone might have found my keychain. It's shiny silver, made of metal so quite heavy, has a 5 circular petal flower shape with some engravings of a few buildings on each petal. In the middle, there are 4 Kanji characters engraved on it: 福岡博多 (Fukuoka, Hakata), and there is a map engraved on the back as well, and it's quite important for me. I think it might have dropped off my bag a while ago. Thanks!

Does Duke offer any photocopying services? I was looking online and it said that for making copies, you shouldn't use the printers and instead make photocopies, but I can't find anything about where you can actually make them.

Hi as it says, I need help with econ 201 and pay for your time!

It’s time to start thinking about the housing process for next year but the website is a little confusing. My roommate and I plan to room together again next year, but we’re not sure how dorm selection works.

Are we better off trying to find a block of people to apply with or do we have a better shot at entering the lottery as a 2-person block? Pros/cons/advice on dorms and the process are appreciated.

Duke Student Affairs just announced a new website to help students (and others in the Duke community) find off-campus housing in Durham: https://offcampushousing.students.duke.edu/

Hello,

I am an incoming freshman at Duke next year and was wondering about the availability of classes taught by Ariel Dorfman. According to the internet, Dorfman teaches Literature and Latin American Studies and on Rate My Professors is marked as previously having taught LIT 161. On "Duke Hub" I haven't seen any of these classes in the course catalogue.

I am super excited about the possible opportunity to be in a class taught by a famous faculty member and would greatly appreciate any help regarding my confusion.

Are Dorfman's courses open to freshmen? I am worried I might have missed something in the catalogue.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Current freshman at Duke majoring in Econ. I have applied to numerous clubs and have gotten rejected from all of them. I deadass can’t get into any clubs. I genuinely believe I am pretty smart and I am a fairly likable person. I received bids for multiple frats, have a solid group of friends, good grades, am physically in great shape, compete in a club sport but I can’t get into any finance/econ type academic clubs.

Hi,

Was just recently accepted into the mechanical engineering and material science masters and wanted to know what people's experience was with the program.

Hi, Im an incoming freshman who was admitted to Duke through early decision! I absolutely love my friends and lately I've been worried about not being able to make really strong friendships at Duke and feeling lonely. I've managed to chat with a few people over Instagram which is nice! I was homeschooled throughout middle school and my mom monitored my phone to make sure I wasn't talking to kids my age (I wish I was kidding) so I feel and extreme amount of love and appreciation for the friends I currently have because they really brought me out of my shell and have helped me through so much. It's just really hard to imagine myself connecting with other people on that level. Obviously I know I will because I have friends I met just last year who I love dearly, I think I'm just finding little things to stress myself out over.

What is the social scene like at Duke? Have you guys made friends that you love just as much as your hometown friends? Any specific stories or anecdotes are more than welcome <3

Can anyone living in blue light speak on how loud the train is? I heard since it’s right next to the rail the train horn is kind of annoying for residents there

Hi everyone! I’m considering applying to Duke University’s Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program in Biomedical Engineering, and I have a few questions:

1. Graduate Employment & Career Services: How effective are Duke’s career services in helping students secure jobs after graduation? What’s the employment rate like for Biomedical Engineering graduates?
2. Program Value: Considering the tuition and overall costs, would you say the program is worth it? How does the ROI look for graduates in terms of salaries and job opportunities?
3. Campus Environment: What’s the general atmosphere at Duke? Is it supportive and collaborative for students in Biomedical Engineering?
4. Social Life: Do graduate students have an active social life? Are there good opportunities to meet people and engage in activities outside of academics?
5. On-Campus Jobs: How easy or challenging is it to find on-campus jobs for graduate students?

I’d really appreciate any insights or personal experiences, especially from those in the Biomedical Engineering program. Thanks in advance for your help! 😊

Hi! The tax filing process is very overwhelming for me as I am an international student and filing it for the first time. I heard that last year Duke Staff was assisting students in-person with the procedure at Smith Warehouse. Any ideas about whom to contact about that and if they are assisting this year as well?

Has anyone taken EVANTH 101 at Duke with Professor Guevara? Please message me.
