Duke First Semester Reflections + Advice

I just wanted to make a video talking about some of my reflections/realizations of my first semester at Duke University. To hopefully appeal to a larger audience, I focused more on "big picture" stuff that might apply to a lot of the "first year in college" experience. I go over academics, extracurriculars, college plans, and even food!
I hope to make more videos in the future, some relating to college admissions but also more videos of things that interest me, such as coffee, photography, and politics. If you have new ideas for videos, please make sure to comment below!

I love your Duke videos! I recently got accepted ED to the class of 2023 and it's so amazing and helpful when you talk about life at Duke! I'm thinking about studying econ too, but as you said... plans may change :)

[@Curious_Skeptic083]

Andrea Centeno Same!! I got in RD for the class of 2023 and plan on majoring in Econ too. Hope to see you in Duke! :)

Besides the surface, was there any other struggles that you’ve went to? I’m a sophomore in high school and I want to prepare for college life can you give advice on how and what I should be looking for. I honestly want to go to Duke.

I'm deciding now whether to take up Duke's acceptance, would you still recommend it?

[@kinglion2546]

I really want to go but my parents think its "unsafe" because of its high caliber and that I could get a low GPA, but I feel like every high tier college is hard and experiences don't change that much.

[@deepsouthmtb2531]

​@@kinglion2546 I've heard that the hardest thing at Duke is getting accepted. While it is definitely still crazy challenging, the amount of support and freedom the Uni gives you helps a ton
