<p>Hey I'm looking to apply ED to Duke, but I have a few social life questions first.</p>
<p>1)How is the school scene for a male who doesn't like to drink? I don't think I need to go to the extreme of alcohol free rooming, but I don't really want to walk around drunk 24/7. I still like to have a good time though, and I don't really consider my self really nerdy or anything.</p>
<p>2) How is the school unity/spirit? Is it relatively close knit on East Campus hanging out in common rooms with friends?</p>
<p>3) What are some fun events/clubs that a lot of people participate in?</p>
<p>Thanks so much, any help would be great!</p>
<p>1) There are a decent amount of people who don’t drink, so you’ll be fine. it’ll just seem like more people to drink b/c they’re the ones talking about it all the time.</p>
<p>2)School spirit is pretty great. Regarding football, people used to care when we had tailgate, but now that that’s changed, football spirit isn’t as massive, but we’ll watch the games together on TV and stuff. I tend to do work and skip the football games. For basketball, EVERYONE cares, and its awesome to be unified by it. Freshman year, you’ll become really tight with your dorm. And they’ll likely remain your friends through the next three years. Def. hanging out in the common room, doing hw, etc. together.</p>
<p>3) For events and clubs, you can find pretty much everything on campus. From global health advocacy groups to business related clubs to diversity clubs, etc. depends on your interests.</p>
<p>any more questions pm me</p>
<p>Thanks for the response!</p>
