“Amazing Experience”

OverallI had an amazing college experience at Duke University. Going off to college was a little frightening at first; being away from family and friends that I know I can count on to be my support, was far away. Although, I missed my family and friends; I ended up loving college and the women it helped mold me into today. Not only were the teachers a great help but so were the students. College was not at all what I've seen on Tv. College was actually a huge inspiration park, filled with mentors mentees.

Personal comments
There are lots and lots of mid-terms, team-projects, exams, etc. If you are not extremelly organized you'll spend the whole two years locked in the library studying.
