Welcome to the Duke University School of Law!

(and Durham, NC!) 

When you enroll at Duke Law, you join a supportive and inclusive community and become a colleague in an intensive and collaborative exploration of the law. We encourage students to create a well-rounded life outside their studies, and the Bull City provides a great mix of activities for students to find what they love. With all that Duke and Durham have to offer, we’re positive that you’ll love your life here! Explore this guide to learn about the neighborhoods surrounding Duke’s campus and the variety of housing options available. Prior to making any housing commitment, we encourage you to review transportation options and routes to campus as well as the important safety considerations highlighted throughout the guide.
