I’ve been thinking lately about the phrase “college experience” (let’s leave aside its more insidious sibling, “college career”). There’s a certain pressure to have an individual definition of this supposedly singular experience, a cohesive personal narrative of the past four years. This is what’s expected of you at graduation parties and on job interviews and when you’re asked, “How did you like Duke?” This is what’s expected of you in these senior columns.

Durham’s Hillsborough Road is not much to look at—its catalogue of gas stations, chain restaurants and banks is familiar to anyone who grew up in suburbia. A version of this street exists in every decently-sized town in the country. It is so generic that it might represent any street anywhere, and it is so wholly unremarkable that it might represent nothing at all.

It is easy to forget just how young the Nasher Museum of Art is. The modernist building is as much a campus landmark as any other building on campus, and the breadth of the collections would seem to indicate decades of curating and compiling. But the museum only opened in 2005, celebrating its 10th anniversary with a variety of festivities this year.

For many students, the all-nighter is a dreaded last resort—the path you take when all others have been taken from you, the only choice left when you face your personal failings in the miserable silence of Perkins after midnight. For some, maybe, there’s a hint of excitement to it. A little thrill that comes along with staying up past your bedtime, seeing the campus at its darkest and emptiest, watching Duke as it enters the witching hour.

Mipso describes themselves as “renegade traditionalists,” a contradiction in terms that is understandably confusing for those who are unacquainted with the band. But for the initiated, there’s no better description—what else do you say about a group that refashions Drake in the style of classical bluegrass?

Before Richard Nixon became president—before his name became inextricably linked with American political scandal—he was a member of the Duke School of Law’s Class of 1937. But Nixon’s legacy at the school, much like his legacy in American history, has long been complicated.

One of the first names students learn on campus is Larry Moneta, or "L-Mo," as he's been nicknamed by students. The vice president for student affairs since 2001, Moneta has just about every aspect of student life under his umbrella—though for some, he's most recognizable as the man who announces classes are canceled for a snow day. Towerview gets up close and personal with the administrator below:

The view from President Richard Brodhead’s office in the Allen Building is not what it was when he came to Duke in the Summer of 2004. A glimpse out the window now shows the West Campus main quadrangle fenced off and full of construction materials, as crews work on a complete overhaul of the historic heart of the school—a snapshot of a campus undergoing dramatic, inspired, expensive change. But with 10 years as president now behind him, Brodhead has overseen change at Duke that goes far beyond the physical. The University has pushed boundaries academically, expanded its global reach and raised billions of dollars. Duke has also weathered no small number of crises and missteps—including a crippling economic downturn and the lacrosse scandal that thrust the University into the national spotlight in 2006.
