*WATCH THIS BEFORE PICKING DUKE* | the cons of duke university FT @sgfvann 

The cons: -Forced 3 year on-campus housing (pre-COVID) -Study abroad opportunities are not great with Duke--especially if you're in STEM -Financial aid sucks if you're middle class (I've had to argue every year at Duke to give me more aid) -Food plans are either too small or too large; food plans force unhealthy eating habits -Administration is pretty white and racist--it is a private school in the South lol -School is quite unwelcoming to Palestinians in particular; if a Palestinian advocates they're quick to be labeled as anti-semitic. In fact, this point actually compels me to say if you're Palestinian I'd consider how much of a support group you need before deciding to attend Duke cause you're not gonna get much there. -Student body is quite self-segregated -Parking is meh but I don't think it's that much worse from other schools -Lot of the professors are meh too--they're top researchers and amazing in their field but teaching is not their top priority and some are only doing it cause they're forced too if they don't receive enough grants so it really translates into the quality of teaching -I kinda wish the student body had more international students; I often found them the most interesting and culturally-aware compared to the typical American college student Duke '21 Alumnus

“if you’re black, just apply.” i gotchu 🤝 sent in my application yesterday update: i got in! 🥳💙

i honestly think that duke was a good pick for my nephew because he can be in the company of other ethnicities. learning to be around a more diverse community is a learning experience. thanks for the video

y’all are hilarious 😭😂 thanks for the info !

I remember watching this a year ago and when you said “if you’re black, just apply” I KNEW you were talking to me! Long story short, I got in and I’m most likely attending in the fall! 💙 :)

Yall are so hilarious 😂 thanks for the video.once you pointed your hands i knew it was about the black community 😅. I applied to the class of 2028 and im Nigerian Ion know if theres any core African or Nigerian there ...sooo... hopefully im accepted in some few weeks..and ill update yall get in🥳

Thanks for this. I really felt like it was the end of the world not being accepted into Duke last fall, but this con list made me glad I was rejected girl that parking is whack 😂 I definitely will follow you both because I might be heading to UNC Chapel Hill this fall, and it would be good to talk to fellow Black students in the area! Amazing video!! 🤩💕💕

Thanks for this!! I applied RD so let’s see in a few weeks if I can potentially join y’all 😂

im laughing sooo hard, hope to meet y'all in the fall

Hey from India, moving to Durham this September to be part of a combined doctoral program between UNC Chapel Hill and Duke, hope we can meet sometime, I giggled myself into a tummyache with this video subbed to both channels, cheers

Love your videos!! can u do a video on tips on attending a basketball game? I’m going to a duke game this December and I could really use any tips you might have! Thanks

Fun watching you guys hate on Duke just a little bit! I'm from NC and waiting to hear good news hopefully! xD

I am applying for class of 2026!!! I am so scared! hopefully I get in!

Yeah I'm a freshman at Duke and the black population is lackingggg

Finding out about Duke tomorrow.. scrambling around the country as a senior to pick a school. Sitting in the JB Duke hotel rn, just drove down from visiting UVA. I’m hoping the quiet/covid situation doesn’t kill the vibe :( any advice on stuff to see? I’ve only got a day

I currently go to NCCU(HCBU), which is ten minutes down the road. They have something called the 10:40 break on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is a large social event that you'd be welcome to join. Also, we're on campus! UNC, NCSU, and NCCU students come for research!

I have just one doutb: Please tell me that the showers in the community bathrooms have some kind of door or something. That's the only thing I need, honestly.

my nephew just started this year as a freshman i’m excited but y’all have me thinking.

I also applied to RD and I hope to get accepted. Maybe I could meet you guys and have a nice time.

Houston gang. Class of 25 RD applicant. Hopefully i can join yall next semester

Omg I really like you guys!!!

thats messed up on parking!! they need to make parking decal stickers so you can put it on your car

Is there grade deflation at Duke? How's the grading system? Any comment about bio major there?

hi fellow duke student here and i totally agreed with a lot of your takes esp about the "diversity" and the pretentious personalities here lol

Is duke community friendly to Asians?

Hey, do you know anything about certain fraternities and sororities cutting ties with Duke? I just wanted an update on how campus life would look like or if anything is actually changing? (Also I'm Ghanaian :)

How will i hit you up then😖

Hey Thanks a lot for this info. I am an international student and I applied for the medical physics master program. I will probably come to duke next May. Is this area generally safe if you are living outside the school campus?

Thank you. God bless. Always remember that Jesus Christ loves you all so much! Jesus Christ forgives all sins. Jesus Christ is God, King, and Savior! That was a great video. Have a great day! ❤️🙏

Wow… People “try too hard”…??? You get a parking ticket for unauthorized parking…??? There’s not enough people with my skin color…??? Maybe try harder to focus on why you’re there? Can’t take this seriously 😒
