Tips to Succeed at Duke

Meet as many people from as many backgrounds as you can. All the resources are there, whether you are looking for an intellectual conversation or help with a research project.

Go to office hours! Many professors are willing to help, or even just to chat.

Get a good amount of sleep, use the exercise facilities (because they're awesome), eat well, take care of yourself— your mom isn't here to remind you of all that.

Study. If you're looking to do well here, you're going to have to start studying sometime.
