I'll be living in Durham in a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment/small house with another single, female Duke grad student I met while living in France. We're still shopping around for a place. I won't have a car (just a bike!) at least for the first year, so I'm looking for something fairly close to campus.
I agree though... the vibe in Chapel Hill is way cooler than in Durham. However, I'm sure there will be lots of grad students hanging out in both towns. I'm looking forward to it!
Bonjour tout le monde!
I'll be attending Duke in fall 2009, starting the PhD program in Romance Studies. I'm originally from Maine, went to college in New Hampshire, and I've been living in France the past year, so I'd love to meet other people headed to North Carolina... undiscovered territory for me!
