The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
Like, supervises everybody here and make sure we're all safe. I just want to talk to Sara a little bit about, like, life at Duke and like her impression of your experience here. So somebody finally introduce yourself, like where you're from and everything OK? Hey, guys, I'm Sarah, as she said, my family's in Jacksonville, Florida, but I was actually born in Qatar, in the Middle East. Still don't know what I'm going to do with that. I was actually just blasting music when she walked in. And candy, I guess s so the first question is, how would you describe, like, the Duke student body? And like, once an answer. Few sentences, OK, S o I think a lot of people, like like you always see the posters that are like, Hey, like this university is diverse in that universities, divers and the usually show like a thing with, like, the different races. I think what, we're especially diversity divers and is our like interests you could talk to literally anybody, and you're going to, like, find something that they're super passionate about, that they can, like, rent about for, like, hours upon hours that they really wanted to. I think that's like the cool thing about the student body. Everything has Everybody has something that they just like, are truly passionate about. I think, like I've never met so many people with, like, different interest that they're actually passionate about until I came here. So what's like your favorite thing about college and then, like your least favorite thing about college? Okay, so favorite thing. I think it's just the flexibility to be able to do what you really love and to explore different things, just like kind of going back to what I was saying before, like, through the people you meet, you'll be introduced to, like, I don't know, like Quidditch or something or like you've never played music before, and someone's like, Hey, I'm going to teach you some chords on this guitar, you know, huh? So I think my favorite part is just being able to, like, explore different things. That could even be like a night out on, like in downtown Durham. There's just so many, like, cool stuff in the city. Um, I think my my least favorite part would have to be. So you're going to hear like, you hear this phrase a lot when you getthere, but kind of like being in this like Duke bubble. It does get overwhelming, just like constantly being on campus. Like, sometimes I'll just, like, walk across the street toast to the store and like, I feel so good I'm like, thing got out of there, you know, uh, and then even, like a lot of there's kind of animosity that I've noticed between, like Durham locals and Duke students because just kind of like our view of this of, like Durmus, just so limited to like certain spots and stuff that, like even we have, like, biased views towards, like, the people that are living around here, like I've seen people be disrespectful, toe like locals and stuff, and vice versa, too, Like it's not just one way. Like kind of like that Duke bubble would be my least favorite part about it. Do you have any advice for, like, refreshment or any like application tips? You'd give advice. I'm not very smart with food points, and that always bites back. Then in terms of applications, just like I know you heard this a lot like, be honest, just it's very easy, I think, with some like how open ended some of their questions are just like, really find something that you enjoy talking about and just like, talk about it like unabashedly and I would encourage you to do and just, like, be creative with it. She's like the coolest are ever s so sweet cry.
