Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

As an international student, I’ve experienced the complexity and stress of the U.S. immigration process firsthand. But the real “a-ha” moment came during my internships at venture capital firms.

This opportunity was a pivotal experience to leverage my global professional background and test my career ambitions in an impactful, real-world context.

I’m so grateful for everything Fuqua has given me — new friends, new experiences, and a much bigger, more colorful world.

From the bustling energy of a downtown district to the convenience and walkability of neighborhoods near campus, there are many options for students to consider.

When my partner was admitted, we celebrated with excitement but also faced the uncertainty of starting from scratch.

The Bull City is a flexible environment that meets the evolving needs of Fuqua’s diverse community.

As I reflect on my path to Duke, I recognize that this experience is a culmination of years and years of work. This has grounded me in the present, allowing me to celebrate and reflect on who and where I am in the moment.

From day one, the Fuqua community was incredible in welcoming me and my husband.

Navigating which courses to take can be overwhelming, especially when your interests might differ from your closest friends and classmates.

Both Duke basketball and Fuqua understand that success isn't just about individual talent — it's about building a culture of excellence, fostering collaboration, and maintaining resilience under pressure.
