School Spirit

Duke spirit centers around the basketball season, and during the spring, people are so avidly into Duke it's amazing. A lot of people at Duke seem to be bitter that they didn't get into an Ivy League school, and it's people like this who make Duke a little less pleasant. However, Duke does have some amazing rallying points if you allow yourself to get sucked in. Just don't be too standoffish and cosmopolitan; don't be afraid to try new things. Belonging to and rejoicing in a great college can be truly rewarding.
