Odd question maybe, but where exactly is Duke University located? I've heard NC, but I'm not familiar with the area. Can anybody help?
Duke University is located in Durham, North Carolina. It's in the state's Piedmont region, which sits between the coastal plain and the Appalachian Mountains. If you're planning to visit, you should know that it's quite conveniently located, especially if you're coming by air. Raleigh-Durham International Airport is just 20 minutes away. Furthermore, both the vibrant city of Raleigh and the college town of Chapel Hill are less than an hour's drive. The campus itself is quite lovely and has a lot to explore! Duke is known for its beautiful Gothic architecture and the Sarah P. Duke Gardens which are a must-visit during spring. Plus, it's near vibrant downtown Durham which has a thriving food scene and lots of cultural events.
