An excellent and joyful university.

I turned down Stanford to go here. Dukies are warm, balanced, smart, kind, hardworking and care about the world. They have life skills, they aren’t just brainiacs, although are super smart. I’ve stayed in touch with more than 20 dukies. Highly recommend this amazing institution!

Great campus to visit

Campus has lots of walkways and is easy to navigate. Currently has construction, but can get around easily.

Beautiful, big campus

We visited the chapel and the botanical gardens at Duke University. Driving through campus was like driving through a park - so many huge trees everywhere, just beautiful.

College visit.

Always a pleasure visiting this Ivy League campus with southern charm!

This is actually my oldest daughter's alma mater, which she began visiting overnight in the 9th grade. When she was finally accepted, I popped up on campus for her dance performances, football games, or for no reason at all! Now that she has graduated, I...More

Football Game Fun, but not the ticketing arrangements

We purchased tickets for the NCCU game via the Duke Alumni association. The good and bad was the pre game party actually could have been purchased at the event, and though the food was good, there was NO seating at all, meaning you ate standing...More

The architecture is unreal

We go to Duke every couple of years for alumni events (so I'm biased...) and we love it every time. This time we toured the Nasher Art Museum on campus and enjoyed it. We always make our way to the Chapel and this time the...More

Where can you park that you do not have to pay a fee when visiting the Duke University? Paying $2.00 per hour is not good. It is more than the beach! LOL!

Is there a way to get a tour of the basketball stadium?

I would try and specify this when making arrangements for your official tour. If you have a potential student for the team, I am sure they will want him to meet the coaches and see the stadium. We did not see it while... More

Can we come visit and see the university, chapel and Cameron stadium at any time, or do we have to book a tour?

30 May 2017|

AnswerShow all 5 answers

You can see the university at any time. The chapel is generally open unless there is a private event such as a wedding. The closest you'll get to Cameron is probably the attached Hall of Fame and Museum. The interior of... More
