“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.
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.
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!
