Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Since you really can’t even start thinking about living off campus until senior year, most students don’t worry about it too much. However, if you’re a big “I want my own apartment!" kind of person, you might not be thrilled by Duke's options. While there are plenty of apartment complexes close to campus, Duke and Durham lack a cosmopolitan high-rise scene that other universities often possess.

That being said, the options off campus are more than sufficient. There are many new apartment buildings, and most are reasonably priced. Additionally, there are houses for sale or rent off East Campus.

Off Campus Housing

Off Campus Housing is possible, however, you are best off having a car. Also, downtown Durham is not exactly the safest area to live in, so On Campus Housing may be easier and safer.
