Welcome to Summer Session 2012
Summer Session at Duke is different. It's a special opportunity to focus your interests on a particular subject, engage with your professors on a daily basis, and work intensively with your peers in a class that's smaller than you will find during the regular academic year. If you choose to live on campus, Central Campus Apartments affords a degree of independence that many students find to be a welcome change from dorm life.
Summer is also a time to get to know the culture of Durham and the greater Triangle area. Durham Bulls' baseball is in full swing by May when Term I of Summer Session begins. Term II starts the same week as the annual Festival on the Eno River. The Bull City Connector is a free bus service to downtown Durham that allows you to explore Performing Arts Center events, artists' studios, trendy restaurants, and Friday evening outdoor concerts at the American Tobacco campus. The American Dance Festival keeps campus life colorful, while a full slate of concerts fills summer nights at the nearby Walnut Creek Amphitheatre. On weekends, explore the North Carolina coast and its mountains, both only a three-hour drive away.
