What impressed you positively?
The students I talked to appeared to all be happy with the learning environment and were enjoying their time at Duke. They were all down to earth and friendly with us and each other. The undergrad campus is very nice, definitely has an Ivy League look to it, and has a great gym. Hospital is huge, and has a lot of opportunities to work in any area you want. Research is worked into the curriculum, which is a plus.

Everyone drives into the school, which isn't that bad, but there are few place to live that you can walk to the campus from.
