West Campus is home to sophomores, juniors and the seniors who opt to stay on campus. It’s also home to Duke’s football stadium (Wallace Wade Stadium), the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, Perkins Library, Duke Chapel, Bryan Center, and much, much more. West Campus is probably best known for its beautiful Gothic architecture. This is where the first-year students live. Besides residence halls, East Campus has a recreation center, library, dining hall, cafe, post office, convenience store, dance studio, coffee house, outdoor tennis and basketball courts, and a bus stop—all within walking distance! Writing skills are crucial to success in college and the real world. That’s why all Duke undergraduates—whatever their major—are required to take a seminar on academic writing. For students who need to brush up on their skills, the Duke Writing Studio provides free one-on-one tutoring. ![]() Better known as Kville, or Tent City, this annual phenomenon occurs when basketball season rolls around. That’s when the truly devoted participate in what is now a Duke institution: living in a tent for up to a month and a half in order to score tickets to the big games. The Women’s Center helps educate the university community about gender-related issues and promotes a campus climate that is safe, healthy, and respectful of all people. The Women’s Center publishes VOICES magazine and sponsors numerous programs that help make Duke a better place for everyone. Duke’s Selective Living program provides students the opportunity to form residential communities based upon common values, interests, and goals. In addition to fraternities, selective living groups include academically sponsored theme groups (Languages, Arts, Round Table, and Anne Firor Scott Women’s Studies) and a number of other social selective living groups. ![]() Oh Uncle Harry’s, what would we do without you? Located in Central Campus, this store is Duke students’ source for everything from gourmet snacks to boxes of pushpins, birthday cards to videos. Harry’s has fresh produce, sandwiches, and made-to-order items as well. Although students are assigned to housing randomly, you’ll have a chance to state your preference for things like a single or double room, a single-sex or coed hall, or a living community that piques your interest. And, yes, you can request a specific roommate! With nearly two dozen campus eateries that are open from 7 a.m. until midnight (and some are open around the clock), you won’t go hungry. And for that late-night energy boost, Merchants-on-Points delivers until 4 a.m. ![]() Most Duke students stop by the Bryan Center at least once a day. It’s where you meet up with friends, check your mail, get cash from the ATM, and grab a cheeseburger and fries from McDonalds or a smoothie and salad from the always-bustling Alpine Atrium. Bryan Center is also home to Duke Student Government and other clubs and organizations, as well as a place to catch movies, art shows, and performances. |
