<p>I'm just wondering if any of you will be at the Blue Devil Day on the 14th? I'll be there. What are you guys planning to see?</p>
<p>I'm going on the 14th too...I plan on seeing everything, and will hopefully have the chance to meet a lot of class of 2010 people.</p>
<p>me too, we should meet up there</p>
<p>I shall be there the 14th as well</p>
<p>I'll be there too.</p>
<p>I'll be there too. i'm going there with a positive outlook, but there are some possibly negative things that I will be on the lookout for:</p>
<ol>
<li>if there really is an obsession with basketball</li>
<li>if a jock culture really exists</li>
<li>how many asian americans there really are. (according to princeton review, its 13%, according to duke class of 09 profile, it's 21%)</li>
<li>whether the reputation of being a "party schoo" holds (the 14th is gona be a friday, a perfect time to see the truth)</li>
</ol>
<p>how about you guys?</p>
<p>how about you guys?</p>
<p>there wont be much of a basketball obsession after basketball season</p>
<p>just a thought. im not a student, so maybe im wrong.</p>
<p>well Ill help some since I live next door...</p>
<p>1) as JMAN said you wont see it since the season is over... but I think just the fact that people camp out for over a month to get tickets to the unc game says something... A lot of people are obsessed (in a good way)... but if you arent thats okay
2) Jockish for such a "smart" school maybe...
3) There are a lot of asian kids on campus seriously!
4) WOOOOO!... any college is a party school!</p>
<p>Did anybody get a reply for hosting yet?</p>
<p>I got an email that said they would contact me with more info two days before the Blue Devil Day I signed up for.</p>
<p>Chlor, PR's data is dated. Class of 2008 is 16.5% Asian. The 13% figure might be '07 or '06. I dunno.</p>
<p>Regardless of what the number is, it's still significantly higher than the % of asians in the US population.</p>
<p>Do you think my schedule of events is a little too ambitious?

<p>This is actually my very first college visit, so I don't really know how they work. Also, what should I wear?</p>
<p>I would remove one or two things from your list. Remember that it sometimes takes 5-15 minutes to get between buildings; not everything is in one place.</p>
<p>I think the schedule looks pretty good, really, though going to all of two classes might not be the best thing - give yourself permission to skip out on the back half of one or both to spend more time talking to students or milling around campus.</p>
<p>So its okay to leave classes in the middle or come in the middle? I don't want to be impolite or anything.
Also, how far is it from the Bryan Center to Page?</p>
<p>Yes, it's very okay to leave classes in the middle! Just make sure to sit in the back and not be disruptive as you leave.</p>
<p>The BC to Page is very close; maybe 4 minutes from Griffith to Page if you don't really know where it is.</p>
<p>For everyone wondering about hosts...you probably won't receive your host information until 2 or 3 days before...that's when we get it as well. Just keep checking your email.</p>
<p>Can you cancel your overnight stay somehow. I highly doubt I can get from Hopkins to Duke before midnight. Also, I'll be on the road soon, so I'll probably won't get the email.</p>
<p>Aw-- just a post because I'm getting a little sentimental. I just realized that my own Blue Devil Day was exactly a year ago this Friday. Enjoy it, guys-- I remember mine like it was yesterday. It's insane how quickly a year speeds by when you're at a school you love.</p>
