Any advice? Of all of the schools that I am applying to, Duke is by far the one that I know the least about. It was a late-entry candidate - apparently they are very strong in my field of interest.At least it's not UNC... Durham is a nice town. You can find pretty much anything there, and if not, go to Raleigh. Make sure you stop by the Q-Shack and get some beef brisket. Duke is an awesome school, as I'm sure you know, and it better be after what you are paying for it. I'm not exactly sure what I should tell you more about Durham, since it is pretty much exactly like every other city out there. As for attractions, I have no idea, sorry. I can call up my Aunt and Uncle who live in Durham, ask them, and maybe go out for a meal at the Q-Shack (seriously, go there).
