"All my classes are actually online this year. I just found out my one in-person has now transitioned to being online. So it's definitely been different: sitting in my room a lot, being in a single room without a roommate. But it's been kind of interesting seeing how Duke is adapting to everything, seeing how the student body is really working together to make campus a safe place so that we can all be on campus hopefully sometime soon, maybe in the spring, maybe in the fall,"

Rachel Enggasser, Class of 2023

"The campus setting is definitely different since not as many people are here like walking out and about so it's been weird walking through campus and it being this empty compared to last year. But it's so good just to be on campus around this general scenery, just being back at Duke in general."

"The first day was a little nerve-racking. But after our first day, I feel like I'm completely ready now! It was like a big weight off my shoulders. I had my first math class today and I can't wait for the classes coming up."

Scott Campbell, Class of 2024
