<p>Is there anyone who is currently attending Duke. Can you tell me about the economics program there and a bit about life in general esp for an international student.
Please please i'll really appreciate it</p>
<p>id reccommed u read the earlier posts students esp aycarumba have been very helpful with duke life</p>
<p>i'm a freshman at duke...
i don't know too much about econ at duke, i do have a few friends who want to be econ majors, though. economics is probably our biggest major, and i want to say a quarter of dukies are econ majors. there's a BS degree, which is more difficult and math based than the regular degree... one of my friends is trying to go down the econ BS path & is taking very high levels of calculus. the econ prereqs are lectures.</p>
<p>duke life is amazing, and if you have any specific questions, i'll be happy to answer.</p>
<p>i don't know too much about int'l students.. it's difficult/rare to get scholarships/fin aid, i think. and i know that they arrive early for really cool int'l student orientations.</p>
<p>i have a number of friends who are international students and they enjoy it...there's an international house which organizes activities, as well as numerous cultural organizations around campus.</p>
<p>and yes, econ is very, very popular. sometimes it seems as if everyone you meet at duke is a) an econ major or b) pre-med</p>
