<p>Since you won’t be on campus, you can call or e-mail for advice.</p>
<p>Hi, I’ve been wondering, would it look weird if someone who got a high scholarship brought a car to Duke? My dad says he might buy a car, but didn’t want that to get in the way of my scholarship. My parents are divored that’s why and he pays alimony, so I’m not sure how that would work.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if I follow…</p>
<p>It shouldn’t affect your scholarship at all… Kids on financial aid can bring a car lol.</p>
<p>What if it’s 50k of financial aid? It wont affect it right? My dad keeps saying things like if you bring a car they’ll take a way your financial aid, and I was like no dad they won’t. Once they offer the scholarship they can’t take it away can they?</p>
<p>FA and scholarships are different things. </p>
<p>Yes, the FA can change if the financial situation at home changes, e.g., a parent gets a new, higher paying job or a parent is laid off.</p>
<p>Taking a car will not afffect the Financial aid, unless it is a lamborgini and your paperwork shows no resources; that migh cause someone to ask questions.</p>
<p>Parking permits are done by either the Residential Life & Housing Services (RLHS) or the Duke Police. FA is done by the Financial Aid Office. There’s no connection at all, so no, bringing a car will in no way directly affect your current or future financial aid packages.</p>
<p>Thank you! No, it’s not a lambourgini, I wish!</p>
<p>Parking Permits are issued by the Parking & Transportation which is under Auxiliary Services. Does not involve either RLHS or DUPD.</p>
<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I am a 1st year premed-student at duke and wondering if 6.1 is too hard for me as first programming class; I do not have any prior experience with any programming language. also what grade is class 6.1 curved on ?</p>
<p>thanks a lot</p>
<p>4.1 Programming/Problem Solving CompSci 4 : Spring 2010
6.1 Program Design and Analysis CompSci 6, Spring 2010, Home</p>
<p>Probably shouldn’t wait until the last day to decide things like this…but that’s the way I am, sadly.
anyways, question:
How easy is it to get a job on campus during the school year? What about off campus? In the summer?
The job can be absolutely anything, such as waitressing, etc. Or it could be being a ‘lab monkey’ at a research lab (I’ve done prior research). I’m planning on majoring in something engineering related at this point.<br>
Also, are there any merit-based scholarships for sophomores, juniors, and seniors?</p>
<p>Sorry I haven’t been here in a while, but I just wanted to say thank you SO MUCH eatsalot and everyone else who has answered my questions! I have decided to come to Duke in the fall, and I’m extremely excited to get started!!!</p>
<p>Eatsalot - thanks a bunch for all of that information on Duke’s neuroscience major; it was very helpful. :)</p>
<p>^Yes, eatsalot is very legendary. Thank you!</p>
<p>Is it possible to help out with clinical research at the hospital during your freshman year? Or actually in general.</p>
<p>I was wondering if there’s a student-run society or union that organises regurlar talks/debates or lectures by some eminent public figures? </p>
<p>Would this be one of things the DUU does? I had the impression that the union was more social/cultural activities orientated. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>@plumdum229</p>
<p>yea, a lot of frosh do it</p>
<p>I have two really stupid questions…excuse me for that. =P
When and where can I start browsing for courses/bookbaging?
How does bookbagging really work?
Thank you.=)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes! There’s a program at Duke called HCEP ([Health</a> Careers Exploration Program - DukeHealth.org](<a href=“http://www.dukehealth.org/patients_and_visitors/volunteer_services/program/healthcareersinternship]Health”>Volunteer Services | Duke Health)) that actually encourages undergraduates to get involved in the hospital. Moreover, you can easily e-mail professors and ask for a research position in their lab or asking them for guidance/experience in a lab. They’ll usually be glad to help. 
Many of my friends got involved as early as the first week of freshman year.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>DUU is more “activity” (read: concert, festivals, LDOCish) oriented. Many speakers come to Duke via faculty organization. If you want to get involved yourself, there’s something called Duke Conversations that brings speakers/debates.</p>
<p>[Duke</a> University | Student Affairs | OSAF (Office of Student Activities & Facilities) | Duke Conversations](<a href=“http://www.studentaffairs.duke.edu/osaf/duke-conversations]Duke”>http://www.studentaffairs.duke.edu/osaf/duke-conversations)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Other opportunities include [Duke</a> University | Student Affairs | Center for Multicultural Affairs | Down to Earth Dinner Series](<a href=“Duke Student Affairs”>http://www.studentaffairs.duke.edu/mcc/programs-services/down-earth-dinner-series), [Duke</a> University | Student Affairs | Center for Multicultural Affairs | Embrace](<a href=“http://www.studentaffairs.duke.edu/mcc/programs-services/embrace]Duke”>http://www.studentaffairs.duke.edu/mcc/programs-services/embrace), and [Duke</a> University | Student Affairs | Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Life | LGBT Center Discussion Group](<a href=“http://www.studentaffairs.duke.edu/lgbt/lgbt-center-discussion-group]Duke”>http://www.studentaffairs.duke.edu/lgbt/lgbt-center-discussion-group).</p>
<p>There are probably more, but I don’t know every group on campus soo… hahaha.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>

<p>As an incoming student, you’ll start browsing for courses in June/July (someone correct if I’m wrong). Bookbagging is the processes of sifting through courses and selecting some that you may want to take. Once you select a course, it goes into your “bookbag.” From your bookbag, you pick and choose the final 4/5 classes you want to take depending on interest and scheduling.</p>
<p>eatsalot you are so helpful! Thank you!</p>
