Top university with a beautiful campus

Top university with a beautiful campus. The garden and the chapel are must-see places. The garden is big so please make sure to allocate sufficient time.

this is a great place to visit !

Once you drive into the campus, I felt like I’ve been transported in one of the European countries. The architecture is so amazing !

Beautiful campus, with exceptional credentials.

We're biased, because our son and daughter-in-law were married in the Duke Chapel, a stunning structure in its own right, and worth the trip just to take the tour. Duke University is recognized for many academic, science, technology, and medical functions, and deserves every one...More

The campus at Duke is beautiful! The architecture is incredible! If you visit in the Spring or Summer, be sure to see the Sara Duke Gardens, a beautiful place for pictures and perfect venue for weddings. A must see is the Duke Chapel. My son...More

Fantastic early 20th century investment by the Duke family. The "new" campus is a beautiful gothic fantasy that just reeks of American money (in this case well deployed) and ambition. Say what you will about the faculty's politics, but this is an important institution and...More

Beautiful setting, nice tour

We went on a guided tour of campus that lasted 1-1.5hrs. Lovely campus even on a hot and humid summer day. Student tour guide was smart enough to duck into various buildings for much of the tour so we could benefit from the air conditioning....More

Very Pretty and Spacious

I was taken aback by Duke's beauty and quiet feel despite its reputation for sports. Driving down a long, wooded driveway, my friends and I were able to find parking and begin our self guided tour for only a few dollars. The paths are Duke...More

Wow!

The Duke gardens are amazing and we were blown away. There is a koi pod with oversized Lillie’s, sculptures and plenty photo options. The Chapel is beautiful. Campus student center is cool and welcomes diversity.

DUKE will take your breathe away from the beauty

We saw the campus today and it is a lot of walking. More than that.....you have to find a place to park WITHOUT getting towed. There is a lot of construction going on so that was a problem. The campus is top notch! My highschooler...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!

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?

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
