  • I made this video to help give future Dukies an idea of what freshman year will be like. My freshman college experience was the greatest time of my life and I can't wait for the next three years! Hopefully, students will watch this video and become eager to begin their journey at Duke University.

    Hi I LOVED this video!!! I'm currently procrastinating hardcore & trying to decide between here & UChicago before tomorrow (National Decision Day...yikes!). & I think this video just convinced me that Duke's the winner!!! :)) You seem like such an awesome & fun person, & thank you so much for sharing your experience @ Duke!!!

    • @symphonywebber
      @symphonywebber  6 років тому

      AWWWW CONGRATS!!!! I'm so happy that you're leaning towards DUKE! How exciting! Let me know if you have any questions!! 💙💙💙

    • @graysonreal5854
      @graysonreal5854 6 років тому

      THANK YOU!!!! I guess I have two quick questions...would you say that Greek life is super dominant in the social scene? & is it relatively easy to "explore" your interests & take classes to figure out what exactly you want to do? I'm in Pratt rn but I'm seriously considering switching into Trinity b/c i'm not too interested in being an engineer anymore...

    • @symphonywebber
      @symphonywebber  6 років тому

      Hi Grayson! To answer you question, greek life is prominent on campus, but if you choose not to go greek, it won't be the "end-all-be-all". Lot's of people choose to be independent and your social life works out fine! With regards to your second question, if you're in Trinity, it is very easy to explore various interests that you may have. However, in Pratt, you are a bit restricted due to the large amount of core classes that are required for the unique departments of engineering.

    Hey Symphony, could you elaborate your reasons for choosing Duke? Are there things that you felt were different from your expectations once you were really studying at Duke? I would love to know more and great video btw! :)

    • @symphonywebber
      @symphonywebber  7 років тому +1

      Hi! I mainly chose Duke because I loved the fact that there are both excellent academics and athletics. Another reason why I chose Duke is because it's not too far from home for me.

      Would you say that Durham gets boring at times? From my research everyone's been saying that it gets boring considering that its less city and more greenery (small town)
