College Town Not So Great
Students Say - Student BodyThe typical Duke student "is someone who cares a lot about his or her education but at the same time won't sacrifice a social life for it. To go to school here is to find the perfect balance, even if that means some late-night cram sessions or last-minute papers. Everyone's focused on success, but that includes social success as well." They tend to be "perfectionists, very involved in seeking out a 'type A' career (read: investment banking or consulting), and go out two to three times a week, always looking polished, even when wasted." An "overwhelming number" are athletes, "not just varsity athletes...but athletes in high school or generally active people. Duke's athletic pride attracts this kind of person." The student body "is surprisingly ethnically diverse, with a number of students of Asian, African, and Hispanic descent."
