WELCOME TO DUKE UNIVERSITY

On behalf of The Chronicle, we're glad you're here. We hope this guide will help you get acclimated into your new community. Keep up with all Duke University and Durham news at DukeChronicle.com.

Duke's History at a Glance

In 1838, Brown Schoolhouse was opened by Methodists and Quakers. Within fifteen years, it handed out its first bachelor’s degree and rebranded to Normal College. Six years after that it was renamed to Trinity College, beginning to resemble the university we know today.

During the late 1800s, the first women, international student, and Indigenous American student graduated.

In the 1920s, Duke University adopted its current name. James Buchanan Duke renamed the school to honor family members like his late father and tobacco businessman, Washington Duke. The signature moniker Blue Devils was introduced, and the first class of doctors graduated, setting into motion a legacy of world-class academics. Today, our university sustains elements of the past–our school pride associated with the bold blue hue adopted in 1889–but has also changed, throwing critical historical facts into relief. Like many universities, Duke was racially segregated until the 1960s, and only hired its first black faculty member in 1966. The university has also relied on enslaved labor and workers of color to upkeep the famously manicured campus grounds, to inadequate recognition.

Duke academics remain top-notch, and the university maintains its respected name, especially as empowered students and staff move towards more and more inspiring change. We are fortunate to have a history that has not only given us an illustrious reputation, but allows us to create

positive impacts that are real, passionately fueled, and will take that reputation to new and modern heights. Go Duke!

East Campus

All first-year students are required to live in one of 12 residence halls on East Campus. East Campus was originally the site of Trinity College and the Women’s College from 1930-1972, but it became first-year exclusive in 1995. The main features on East Campus include Lilly Library, The Ark dance studio, and Marketplace—the first-year dining hall.

West Campus

West Campus, home of the famous Chapel, features many other Duke favorites including Cameron Indoor and Wallace Wade Stadium. The campus was created in 1924 when Trinity College underwent an expansion as a result of the Duke Endowment. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors live on West Campus in one of its eight quadrangles. The Richard H. Brodhead Center for Campus Life offers an array of dining venues and study rooms. Additionally, the Duke Student Wellness Center is the home of Counseling & Psychological Services, Student Health, a tranquil garden, the “Oasis” which has a massage chair, meditation pillows and more.

Duke Athletics

Since the school’s birth year, our athletics have been enviable. The 1938 football team was known as the Iron Dukes for their impenetrable defense line, and since then our 27 sports teams have

flourished. Men’s basketball has won five NCAA Division I championships, thanks to recently retired icon Coach Krzyzewski and his 42-year long career.

Duke Gardens

More than 900 species and miles of green space started with a simple wish in the 1930’s–Dr. Frederic Hanes, gardener and medical faculty, was determined to turn a debris-filled ravine into something beautiful. He persuaded Sarah P. Duke

to donate $20,000 to the cause, and in 1935 over 100 flower beds were planted. Mary Duke Biddle and land designer Ellen Biddle Shipman gave the garden new life after heavy storms and floods, and their creation is still flourishing today.

The Nasher Museum

In 1969, the acquisition of 200 medieval works allowed the concept of a Duke University Museum of Art to be born. In 2005, the sleek, modern Nasher Museum we know today gave a new home to art housed in a former science building on East Campus. As Raymond D. Nasher, Duke alumnus, collector, and benefactor gazed at the new construction, he supposedly claimed, “This will be one of the most important, most interesting university art museums in the country.”

Gothic Architecture

West Campus features the most architectural diversity, blending Georgian, the most modern of the modern, and Duke’s signature gothic styles. You can’t miss the Chapel, the intricate and gargantuan pinnacle around which other campus buildings revolve. Julian Abele, prominent AfricanAmerican architect, served as the chief planner of the university campus from 1924 through the 1950s. Mr. Abele designed the Duke Chapel, among other gothic style buildings on campus like Baldwin Auditorium, Cameron Indoor Stadium, and the Duke Medical School.

GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS

Each neighborhood surrounding Duke has its own flavor. If you're living off campus, consider what each area has to offer before making your decision.

Downtown

With entertainment, restaurants, breweries, and every sort of novelty right at your doorstep, residents are never bored in Downtown Durham. Durham’s freshest urban vibe intermingles with the city’s rich history. Sports fans will be thrilled by the proximity of the Durham Bulls stadium, housed within the reworked factory and entertainment hub, American Tobacco Campus. Downtown is a wonderland for foodies. “Major,” a 10-foot Bull statue, watches over establishments like The Parlour, M Sushi, and Pizzeria Toro serve up every permutation of sweet and savory, of adventure and familiarity. Eat, drink, play, and be merry at Boxcar Bar + Arcade. Or, explore Durham Food Hall for a market-like experience. Looking for something fresh? The Durham Farmers Market does not disappoint.

Ninth Street

Within walking distance to Duke’s campus, Ninth Street is convenient, friendly, and fast-casual. It’s often lively with Duke undergrads living either in the area or on the nearby East Campus. Harris Teeter, Durham’s only Whole Foods, and exciting local activities are just a stone’s throw away. Choose Bull City Escape for a weekend outing, or indulge in boba at Moge Tee. Browse quirky shops stocked with gifts and knick-knacks or the Regulator, a well-shelved and beloved bookstore.

Raleigh or Chapel Hill. The area is home to an easy suburban vibe, reflected in the surrounding activities: go for classic bowling at Bowlero, belt the night away at K-Mix Karaoke & Bar, or work out at Base Pilates.

There’s still plenty else to do when it gets dark outside–just catch a movie at Northgate Stadium 10, and you’ll feel right at home.

Erwin

Literally walkable to the Duke Law School, Fuqua, the Duke Medicine Pavilion, and the Duke University Hospital—Erwin is synonymous with convenience and apartment communities.

A PASS THROUGH THE LAST NIGHTS OF COACH K’S K-VILLE

THIS IS AN EXCERPT FROM AN ARTICLE IN THE CHRONICLE’S COACH K COMMEMORATIVE EDITION

By Jake C. Piazza | @jake_piazza

March 3, 2022 | 3:21am EST

The name on the sign in front of Krzyzewskiville will be the same next year, but the man himself won’t be inside Cameron Indoor Stadium.

I know that the tent city will still return. The Cameron Crazies didn’t get their names for no reason. But in the days leading up to the last night of the tenting season, I realized the finality of all of this: No Duke student will ever sleep outside in a tent again to see Mike Krzyzewski and his squad take on North Carolina in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

I’ll admit I’ve also gotten caught up in the allure of all of this the past year. The national championships, gold medals and memories make that easy to do. I don’t know Coach K well outside of talking to him in press conferences and my 72 hours of fame after a brief exchange we had after a game a year ago, but I don’t think even he could have had the faintest idea that his legacy would grow to this.

K-Ville is almost impossible to explain to someone unless you’ve done it yourself. I tried to break down the tenting experience for a friend of mine by showing her on FaceTime—it doesn’t work.

There’s something about Coach K or Duke or a combination of both that convinces hundreds of students to sleep outdoors in the frigid Durham winter nights every year. I can’t pretend that I know what it was like to tent in K-Ville during Coach K’s final season, but I was there for the last two nights of it all—it’s not hard to see why students do it.

View—The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University is a major center for the arts in Durham and the surrounding region, featuring temporary exhibits by renowned and local artists.

There are also galleries in every corner of Duke’s campus that present a wide variety of professional and student artwork.

CREATIVE WRITING

The Creative Writing minor offers courses that cover a spectrum of poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, essay, memoir, travel writing, documentary writing, theater and more.

CAMPUS SPOTLIGHT HIDDEN GEMS

Surprise Study Spot: The Student Wellness Center

If you only go here when you’re sick, then I’m sending you my condolences in more ways than one. This place is a glass castle. Natural light floods the space. Everywhere you turn, there’s either a plant or a plant-adjacent object. The desks attach to big, soft benches that create your own personal cubicle. There’s always someone playing the grand piano, filling the air with music I feel like I should’ve paid to hear. And when you’re done studying, you can make your way to the meditation garden at the back. THEY HAVE SPINNY EGG CHAIRS.

Surprise Napping Spot: Perkins Oasis

This place has saved my life again and again. It has a dedicated napping corner, complete with a room divider, a thick mat, and multiple pillows. On days so desperate I can’t even make it back to my room, I just head on over to the third floor of Perkins and— SNORE!—fall right asleep in this quiet nook of peace and bliss.

Surprise Secret Menu: Strawberry Matcha at Bella Union

Matcha latte with oat milk and a couple pumps of strawberry syrup? YUUUUUUUM.

Surprise Fancy Food: Commons

Yeah, most people know about Nasher brunch— but do you know about COMMONS BRUNCH? OR LUNCH? OR DINNER? Located on the third floor of WU (if you’re confused, go back to the Trilingo dictionary), Commons serves some real high-end fare. I almost expect the food to come out on those tiny plates. And no one is sponsoring me to say this. It really is just that impressive.

Surprise Fun: Duke Coffeehouse

Psychedelic alternative would be the way I describe the vibe. Like an underground gathering place for hipsters. And with the sheer number of concerts that happen there, it’s basically a small venue for indie artists. The place stays open super late, and people are always just hanging out. Or dancing. It’s a good time. Plus, they have free tea, coffee, and snacks…

Duke students have adopted a flurry of acronyms and abbreviations. Here are some terms to acquaint yourself with:

"WU"

West Union dining hall. Yes, it is officially called Brodhead Center now, but old habits die hard.

"BC"

Bryan Center, home to the University Store, student mail center, office space, even a McDonalds. BC Plaza refers to the outdoor seating area outside the building, conveniently featuring power outlets.

"C 1"

The East-West bus. Most students quite literally can’t live without it. Make sure you allocate extra minutes for potential delays.

"DDMF"

Basketball fans love to paint it in blue on their bodies: Duke Duke MF. You fill in the blanks.

"GTHC"

A similar basketball slogan, useful for telling certain rivals where exactly you want them to go.

"K-Ville"

The general area surrounding Cameron Stadium.

"E-Quad"

Engineering quad

"Vondy"

The glass-walled café inside Perkins library, officially called Saladelia.
