Duke University Reviews

"Fantastic school with great resources and faculty."

"The quality of life and social aspects of this program are terrific, however the student body could be much more diverse."

"There are lots of people who really thrive in the hyper jock "work hard, play hard" culture; the advantage of that team mentality, though, pays off it comes to networking with alumni. Worst features=compared with my liberal arts undergrad it's super-aggressively competitive and the workload is very heavy; the campus is all woods, so close parking is often not possible and it doesn't feel very safe; public transit isn't great and parking services could do more to encourage carpools (if I need to ride separately from my carpool it's $4/day penalty, which is actually more than if I bought my own parking pass--but then the rest of my carpool would be penalized if I got my own pass--the passes for law-adjacent lots sell out instantly). Which brings me to the most annoying part--the costs/fees keep adding up from every direction and are going up insanely fast. Best features=faculty accessibility, quality of network with many great networking events; off campus there's a very affordable, interesting region with a lot of opportunities to enjoy local art, culture, community involvement in quirky, walkable neighborhoods. I also think career services does a really good job.Read Less"

"Still a young program, but it is doing a great job of leveraging the Duke Law name and brand. Alumni do a lot to support each other, and help new classes get jobs. Good program."

"Biggest Pros are the accessibility to great professors and Duke's presence all over the country."

"Great professors, great network, great support from the faculty and staff."

"Rigorous workload, but amazing and accessible professors, helpful and well-placed alumni, and competition is related only to curves"

"A wonderful university, with a supportive faculty and a positive working environment"
