Why Duke: From early on in my research, Duke stood out to me as a place that had incredible educational opportunities in a really welcoming and warm culture. This was only confirmed over the course of the interview process, and by the time I came to the Second Look, I knew that this was where I wanted to be. Everyone was so proud to be here, and it was so easy to connect with such an intelligent and supportive group of people!

Why Durham: I have friends who attended Duke as undergraduates and had heard fantastic things about the city. When I came to visit, I fell in love with the atmosphere and the way that there is such a vibrant culture with so many things to do.
