Duke MMS Student Blog

I came to Fuqua hoping to find my place. What I found instead was a community that made me feel like I’ve belonged all along.

One of the best ways to get to know a new place is through its food.

Adjusting to life in Durham can feel like a big task, especially when you’re also starting a new program.

Durham is a city where the more you explore, the more its personality comes to life.

Moving to a new country is never as easy as it seems. When I decided to move from the U.S. to China for the MMS: Duke Kunshan University (MMS: DKU) program, I was filled with excitement and determination.

I am genuinely impressed by how Fuqua’s community-focused approach quickly transformed a diverse group of individuals into a close-knit cohort and supportive friends.

I discovered that stepping out of my comfort zone made me more adaptable — and I loved it!

Fuqua is a place where we are inspired to draw on our diverse backgrounds to enrich every class and conversation, allowing me to channel my growth mindset and values every day.

On my very first day at Fuqua, I had the opportunity to meet my four incredible teammates, each bringing unique perspectives from around the world.

Being part of the MMS: Duke Kunshan University (MMS: DKU) program at Fuqua has been a life-changing experience.
