<p>Sorry, I'm not actually going to Duke (it came down to Duke or Michigan, had to go to Michigan for financial reasons), but I have some friends also going to Duke, and out of curiosity, how does it work? Did yall get an email saying you had to log into a site and pick your courses? @ Mich, we have to pick our classes at orientation, but all you Dukies are already choosing?</p>
<p>I'm just curious haha... just to see what all I have missed in the Duke way of life.</p>
<p>You go online and pick your classes and put them in a "bookbag". Then, on a certain day you are allowed to actually register for your classes online. Are you doing engineering at Michigan?</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm doing engineering at Michigan. I got into Pratt for BME at Duke.</p>
<p>Sorry about financial thing. Michigan engineering is a great place to go for undergrad and you won't regret it at all, and I'm not just saying that to make you feel better.</p>
<p>Registration at Duke is kind of hit or MISS REALLY BADLY. You put the courses you want in a "bookbag" and you get a window from first to third. Your registration dates are 3 sequential days at some point and they're all at like 7 AM. The point is to find the fastest connection possible in your city or state and to press the register button at exactly 7:00:00. If you don't, you'll be sent to queue hell and your connection might even break. I guess its a pretty fair system in the end tho with the rotating windows.</p>
