Junior girl looking for a date
Hello everyone! I’m a junior girl who’s looking for a date and tired of the apps. :) Feel free to clown me in the comments but a girls gotta try!!!!
Why you should date me:
- Im 5’3” and never wear heels so you’ll always be taller than me
- I have a high GPA and will be interning as a management consultant this summer so I’m pretty ambitious and able to relocate post grad
- I love drawing so you’ll get handmade notes/cards on ur bday and valentines
- Similar vein with fashion design, ur gonna have the most fire cosplay for Halloween
- I text back super fast
- I find the entertainment in everyday occurrences and can turn anything into a very roundabout but entertaining monologue
- I volunteer a lot so we can volunteer together :)
What I’m looking for
- I’m a devout Hindu who doesn’t do any substances or eat meat. I’m interested in meeting someone that also follows a dharmic faith and wants a monogamous long term relationship
- I also want someone with ambitious life goals (see above!!)
- I also want someone w cool hobbies
- I’m 20 so pls be 19-22 years old
I’m probably gonna delete this if I get self conscious.🙈🙈 so yeah XD dm me I guess
Best Writing 120?
I am a freshman in Pratt trying to decide what writing 120 to take. I would love suggestions for either ones that were super interesting with cool professors or ones that were super easy. Thanks!

CS 330 with Panigrahi
Hi! Junior looking to take CS 330 next semester, but it's taught by Debmalya Panigrahi & Siqi Liu. Seems like it's Liu's first time teaching 330, and I'm a little scared by Panigrahi's RMP. Anyone who took it with Panigrahi have any perspective to offer?

Inquiry Regarding Sideline Staff Safety and Athletic Department Standards.
Dear President Price,
I am writing to express strong concern regarding the recent on-field incident involving Kimari Robinson aggressively swatting at a member of Duke’s medical staff.
You could clearly see the fear in this staff member's eyes as she tried to treat an injured player. Behavior like this toward a healthcare worker in an ER would lead to an arrest, yet here it happened on national television. Furthermore, additional video shows Mr. Robinson in a similar physical confrontation with field staff during the Georgia Tech game, establishing a clear pattern of behavior that must be stopped before it goes further.
Dismissing this behavior—as Coach Manny Diaz's comments did on Monday—only compounds the disrespect shown to this staff member. The Duke University School of Medicine Code of Professional Conduct mandates "concern for the welfare of others, respect for the rights of others, and zero tolerance for disrespectful behavior." Sideline medical personnel deserve that exact same standard of protection and respect while doing their jobs.
University leadership must step in with meaningful, transparent accountability.

Visiting Duke Tomorrow (10/19) — Looking for a Female Campus Buddy!
Hi everyone!
I’m a 20-year-old Chinese female student studying Applied Mathematics at the University of Washington. I’m visiting Duke tomorrow (October 19) because I’m considering applying here for graduate school!
I was wondering if there’s a female student around my age who’d be interested in showing me around campus for an hour or two.
I’d love to explore the campus, take some cute photos, grab coffee, and just chat about college life! I’m also hoping to practice my English and learn more about what it’s like to study at Duke.
Coffee is on me! ☕️
Feel free to DM me if you’re interested. Thank you!! :)

how safe is Durham + affordable housing recs?
Hey guys!! Incoming international grad student at Duke for spring 2027 and wanted to ask how safe Durham actually is 😭. ive heard some very conflicting reports and want to hear from people actually around there. especially around Duke and for someone who might have to walk around alone.
Also how’s Raleigh in comparison? Is commuting from Raleigh to Duke even practical without a car?
Would love recs for safe + affordable apartments/areas near Duke, shared housing, or literally anywhere decent that won’t cost an arm and a leg 💀
Any areas to avoid, housing scams to watch out for, or general advice would be appreciated!!
