When junior Sarah Stanczyk first arrived at Duke her freshman year, she noticed that she was constantly fighting off colds and other sicknesses passing through campus and decided to see a doctor at her home in Grand Island, N.Y. “If something was going around, I would have it,” she recalled of her freshman year.

A lingering scent of tobacco and menthol.
The spiraling and tedious climb to the top of the Duke Chapel certainly presents a rewarding, one-of-a-kind view of campus. However, Duke’s campus offers many other unique and spectacular views from the heights of its gargoyle-studded buildings. Though climbing these other buildings is forbidden by the Duke Community Standard, motivated Duke students have found ways to reach the top.
A Duke experience may not be complete without at least one night spent dancing at Shooters II Saloon, located within walking distance of East Campus.

College students of the 21st century rarely go a day without experiencing the benefits of modern technologies. Smart phones and the Internet provide instantaneous access to information, note-taking with a pen and notebook is nearly a remnant of the past and classrooms take advantage of sophisticated equipment to enhance students’ learning experiences.

Sophomore Academic Homecoming, a new tradition initiated by the Sophomore Class Council, the University's administration, Duke Student Government and the Academic Advising Center, aims to turn this hyped-up decision into a celebration.
During the holiday season, it is popular for Ukrainians to traverse their neighborhoods celebrating Christmas and New Year’s Day.
By day it may be a child’s paradise, but by night, the poorly-lit, tree-lined playground on Duke’s Central Campus becomes a chilling display of the dark unknown.
When the stress level in the library has reached its peak or the Plaza poses too many distractions, many Duke students find sanctuary in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. With 55 acres of foliage and botanical beauty, the Duke Gardens is a majestic natural maze which many Duke students use as a jogging course, a place to picnic or a secluded study spot away from the hustle and bustle of campus. If you’re lucky, you may catch a glimpse of a great blue heron, or ducklings in the spring.
