Tips: Duke University offers incredible academic and professional opportunities, with strong support systems and readily available part-time work options. I received a scholarship covering some of my living expenses based on academic merit and financial need. The main mode of transport available is the bus, which limits flexibility and convenience when trying to explore the city or travel beyond campus. While the campus is somewhat connected to key parts of the city through bus routes, there aren't ot...

Tips: Take courses outside of your programme as they add a lot more value than you expect them to. The tuition is quite high, but overall I think it is worth it. The faculty and the courses make up for it all. And, as an added bonus, it is a very Indian heavy programme, so you'll never be alone in your cultural experiences. Also, I would recommend you have a car since that would make your life a lot easier.

Likes (Student Life): There's always an event happening at one place or another, they try to make students' lives as e...

Tips: There is very little diversity in the MEM program, and you need to prepare yourself to connect with people outside of the program. Make sure to take full advantage of the different clubs at Duke and join as per your liking. Attend all the fun events on campus and try to stay on campus as much as possible. The career fair at Duke is not that helpful as there are very few companies that participate, and ones who participate mostly don't sponsor. You have to find internships on your own through job...

Tips: Learn about Duke Basketball and the NBA history from Duke. Most of the college's history relies on this, and it's easier to understand and relate to it. Attend as many events and games as possible, even if they clash with your exams and classes. This is once in a lifetime experience. Besides that, the curriculum is updated, strong and meets the industry standards. Faculty are easily accessibke and approachable. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Tips: There was a culture shift, it took some time for me to understand how things were going and adjust to it accordingly. The biggest challenge was getting used to the assignment, and it needs to be done to ace it further. It is a good college to be in. The faculty is extremely supportive and helpful. The campus has a lively atmosphere with so many events and live music gigs. My personal favourite pastimes are the library and the finance club. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Tips: The Indian community at Duke is strong, so the transition to life on campus was pretty easy. I secured a merit scholarship automatically when I applied. I do a lot of my own cooking, but there are a few good Indian restaurants close to Duke that offer all kinds of amazing options for a decent price. I've even gotten two meals out of some dishes, so if you don't want to cook, you've got great alternatives. Also, there are other options not far away if you're down for a short drive. Overall, I’m h...

Tips: While the academic environment is intellectually stimulating and paced with opportunities, it also demands a high level of independence, especially with internships, living in an apartment, etc. I received a scholarship, and the scholarship amount and who gets it will be decided by the admissions committee. You don't have to do anything additional. I am highly satisfied with the course, the country and the university. The exposure, diverse community and academic community will help you grow both...

Tips: My favourite part of college has been the professors and how involved and encouraging they are. They have made this college a supportive and inclusive environment. Aside from this, the campus amenities such as housing, food and transport are much better than you'd expect. The public transportation is very flexible, accessible and affordable to travel and explore the city.

Tips: Great environment for international folks. Everyone here embrace diversity and inclusion. It was not an easy transition to move from a happening city to a calmer place like Durham but the events at Duke made up for the lack of places to explore around. The course is more useful if you come from a non-business background. Placements have not been great due to the job market.

Likes (Part time work): Lots of opportunities to do on-campus work. The community is welcoming to hire international students and no problems have ...

Tips: Not a major cultural shift, since this course attracts a lot of Indians. You should be actively participating in activities around you or you will miss out. I did not receive any scholarships. The university was very satisfactory, it offers guidance, security, and a platform to make the best of your career. As for the programme, it's as good as you make of it. It is designed to give you an introduction to most things, not a deep drive, it opens new horizons of thinking and changes your perspecti...

Tips: Make sure you have a clear goal in mind what you want to achieve after graduation. Keep aside a certain amount for living expenses, as finding an on-campus job is tricky. Most master's programs do not have diversity, so do not be shocked if you do not see it here.

Likes (Indian Food): One can get a good Indian meal in the $10-$20 range. There are good restaurants, and Indian groceries are pretty accessible. Check out Lime & Lemon, Indian Monsoon, and Anjappar in Carry as a few good options. Eating out in the US regu...

Tips: Coming to the US for the first time will be a big culture shift. It does take time to adjust to the people living here but one will soon adjust. The classes and assignments do take up a lot of time. The best part of Duke is the flexibility of choosing courses and catering to one's own needs. Scholarships are rarely available. The course is value for money because of the faculty members and the network you develop here.

Likes (Student Life): Best part about the campus is the architecture. Built in a gothic style it sh...
