Duke MQM Student Blog

Already being familiar with the Fuqua building, Duke’s campus, and downtown Durham was a very comforting feeling that helped get rid of those first-day nerves.

I really wanted to make the most out of what’s come to feel like a wonderful pitstop on my career journey.

MQM students always have the opportunity to unwind with their classmates, attend activities to refresh after a demanding week and make the most of their time at Fuqua. 

When I looked into what Team Fuqua meant, I saw that it was described as a whole that values strong friendship, places great importance on collaboration, and is ready to support each other at all times.

Every week in this program is different but here’s a look at what a typical week looks like for me.

With only 10 months in the MQM program, you quickly learn to make every moment count.

Business school can get stressful at times, especially when it’s an extremely fast-paced 10-month program like MQM.

Whether you recently moved to the Triangle, are a tourist, or a local, we have some places that we are sure you would love!

Having lived in two of the most populated cities in India, Durham could be considered an unusual choice for the location of my graduate school. However, I had heard great things about it.

Before coming to Fuqua, I trained with a triathlon team in my home country of Mexico, and I wanted to continue being active in the sport while living in Durham.
