Duke MMS Student Blog

It’s definitely fun to hang out with a group of people different from those in your program, as you get to learn different perspectives, opinions and lots of ideas.

It’s back to college for many students in Fuqua’s Master of Management Studies program and the start already feels accelerating as well as exhilarating!

An essential value of the Fuqua School of Business for me is culture and community, which once embraced, leave you a part of this big family for the rest of your life.

As someone who desperately needed this when I was searching for a place to live a year ago, I’ll be giving you details that I wish I had known when I was going through this process.

When I decided to travel to Durham at the start of the MMS program, I swore to myself that I will get out of my little bubble of comfort.

I found my seat in a lecture hall during our Duke Master of Management Studies orientation session. I was too nervous to bother with what time it was.

Coming to Fuqua has been my dream for as long as I can remember.

I chose Fuqua’s Master of Management Studies: Duke Kunshan University program for its team-emphasis culture.

I was sold on “Team Fuqua” from my first day at MMS orientation. What I didn’t realize is that this team mentality would become the most valuable aspect of my time here both personally and professionally.

Shooters is not a monopoly. Yes, it might be the closest and most club-like establishment in Durham. However, there are so many other options for a fun night out that aren’t as widely circulated.
