<p>I have heard that the surrounding town doesnt really have many activities. So what do you duke students do outside of the classroom. Is it basically drinkin and partyin or are there other things to do also?</p>
<p>bumpppppppp</p>
<p>I've heard Chapel Hill is a far better college town than Durham, but I've only visited Duke as a prospective student, so I don't know of many activities.</p>
<p>Well, homework is kind of a big outside of class activity. On weekends I go to movies, hang out (and take naps in) the gardens, play sports outside with friends, go to basketball and other games, eat out, go to bars, party . . . yeah all those things pretty much fill up free time.</p>
<p>It's basically partyin and drinkin for some, but there's a lot of campus cultural things going on, a hearty area music scene, and Chapel Hill.</p>
<p>are there movies on campus or a nearby theatre?</p>
<p>Movies frequently play on campus, $1 for students. I believe Rent is playing sometime soon, so they play popular movies and all, but sometimes independent/cultural flicks as well. If you have a car (or have friends) you can also go to Southpoint Mall which is, not only an amazing complex with restaurants and upscale shopping, but yes, a movie theater.</p>
<p>wow thank you</p>
