Students gathered in K-Ville after the No. 20 Blue Devils upset the No. 5 Tar Heels 74-73 Wednesday.
Duke has bludgeoned, not coddled me. I believe I am not alone when I say this.
Cameron Crazies. Little kids watch us on TV, dreaming of being part of the Craziness one-day. College students across the country envy us, they hate us. The old guys correctly recognize us as the greatest fans in all of sports.
Brother Abele designed its architecture, my father waited its tables at the WaDuke and now, finally inside these walls, I once again must do my part in educating this University of its own hypocrisy. The only difference between my forefathers and me: I don’t get paid for my job.
As students come back for the spring, many look forward to a semester of change. For some, there are new classes to explore and appreciate, while the gauntlet of tenting in K-Ville will be the highlight for others. Yet it is still hard to escape the atmosphere of rush. Whether students are in fraternities, sororities, other Selective Living Groups or independent, there is a palpable layer of tension, energy, anxiety and other emotions surrounding rush. Especially for first-year students, hallways become emptier, weekend get-togethers disappear and there is a sense of a change. These organizations are in the middle of their yearly rush dance to shuffle up campus housing for hundreds of students.
Although Duke has many print and visual sources of news for University and student life, audio sources do not have a mainstream presence on campus. "Life Inside," a podcast set to launch by the end of January, hopes to fill this void by producing episodes about everyday life at Duke.
"You are traveling through another dimension—a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop: Duke University. "
Anytime I mention I attend Duke, the first question I typically receive has to do with basketball. I’m quite certain that this experience is common to pretty much every Duke student living in the United States.
As football season approaches, much-deserved enthusiasm is mounting on campus for what our new and improved Blue Devils squad has to offer. In past seasons, Duke football often found itself at the bottom of the Atlantic Coastal Conference, but over the past few years, the team has fought hard to better records with greater victories. Their energy on the field and in practice demands a matching energy on campus from students. With opportunities for participating in the men’s basketball experience every way you turn, the stage is set for students to take part in Duke Student Government’s most recently approved project: DevilsGate Tailgate. At football schools across the country, college tailgates are a pre-football game celebration that gets student fans hyped for games with food, drink, games and entertainment.
For the fifth time in six years of hosting the NCAA tournament, the Blue Devils are moving on from Durham to the quarterfinals in Waco, Texas.
I have no words.
Students can look forward to seeing more advanced stage effects and better sound quality in the annual Last Day of Classes concert and festivities.
The first time I cared about Duke sports, I was six years old.
It’s the most anticipated day of the year from the moment students set foot on campus and thus has become the most scrutinized event at Duke.
Moving into my dorm room freshman year, an exceedingly large and overwhelmingly empty double in Wilson, I remember someone—an RA, a FAC or maybe my dad—telling me “welcome home.” And I remember glancing around at the eclectic furniture around me, my family who would soon leave to drive back north to what I had always considered home, and the empty bed that would soon house a girl I had never met, and I wondered what my new home would look like.
For Old Duke, students will be making their way downtown, walking fast as faces pass and they're homebound—with Vanessa Carlton as the concert's headliner.
I applied under Duke’s Early Decision program like 38% of my class. Apparently there was something that seemed pretty cool about this “gothic wonderland,” but to be honest I had no idea what I was getting into. My perception of Duke was shaped by a couple visits to the university and a total of three hours actually spent on campus where we didn’t even see the campus I would spend my first year on.
For some, Wednesday’s contest between Duke and North Carolina at Cameron Indoor Stadium is a highlight of what has been an exciting college basketball season so far.
For the second year in a row, the personal checks concert in Krzyzewskiville has been canceled due to inclement weather.
