What is special about Duke’s location?
Duke is located in a beautiful forested setting, midway between the ocean and the mountains. The quality of life is exceptional– the cost of living is very reasonable; the climate is moderate; amenities such as good restaurants and shopping are available in the Triangle formed by Durham, Raleigh and Chapel Hill; the area has more PhD’s than almost any other part of the U.S. but retains a distinctive flavor. Duke students take advantage of the many chances to use the excellent golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools, basketball courts and more.
