“What do students usually like to do after class?” - Anonymous
There are so many different things Duke Students do outside of class!
▪️ Extracurricular activities
Clubs, volunteering, research, etc.
We have gyms both on West and East Campus, as well as a small gym on Central Campus. Some do weight training, group classes, rock climbing in the gym, some enjoy being a part of a sport club. For instance, I do figure skating.
▪️ Breakfast/lunch/dinner with friends
....and then you end up talking for two hours in the Marketplace or West Union.
▪️ Homework, of course.
Studying can also be fun if you get creative with it. Some students like to stay in the library on a quiet floor, some study in the common room in their dorms, others go to coffee shops both on campus and in Durham.
▪️ Exploring the city!
There is a mall calles Southpoint which is great for shopping and there is a cinema too. Durham has a lot of interesting places for different types of people.
▪️ Hanging out in the dorm.
Especially when you’re a freshman, you get a very tight community of people in your dorm so students play ping pong, watch movies, work on projects, cook dinner, etc.
▪️ Attending events on campus.
We have something happening every day!
