Duke Class of 2017 Forum

Hey folks, if you're thinking about changing your license, don't fret too much. If you go to the DMV license center on Martin Luther King Blvd, near the Walmart, they don't always make you take the written test. I'm not sure if it's a new policy, or if it's just because they're often understaffed and overworked; to be safe, I'd go on a Saturday when there are a billion people there and 2 employees. You might be able to skip the written.

If there are any current students on this thread, do you know if you need a license plate # to register with the parking pass? My old car died and I'm trying to find a new one but I don't want to miss out on a parking pass.

Edit: I called and they said you can change your license plate # later on FYI

It also gives more details here:

Students who do not have a vehicle when they purchase a permit may enter their Duke Unique ID number in the license information section of the permit order form. When a vehicle and permanent license plate are obtained, students must update vehicle records within 10 business days. Update vehicle information at Manage My Parking Account.

+1 I know I was nervous about it. I set an alarm on my work comp and bought a pass at like 12:05....Wish I didn't have to pay for it through their billing system but whatever.

The billing system is very inconvenient, but I'm glad it costs less than half of my undergrad pass. (Sn: GULC is +$800 / semester haha)

After paying close to $750/year for the past 6 years for school parking, completing this purchase just made my week.

Same, my UG parking was $850+ and you weren't even guarenteed parking. You were given permission to park in the garage, but they would frequently let randos pay to park there for sporting events and concerts downtown and if the lot filled up you were SOL.

What??? I thought mine was insane at $200/semester (which I refused to pay). I just biked to school, and I almost did the same thing w/ Duke But I figure $150 or whatever for an annual pass is a good deal even if you don't use it every day.

Regarding the fantasy league, we currently have 13 people who are interested. If we get one more, we could do a 14-person league.

If anyone else is interested, don't forget to sign-up:

If we get enough more responses, perhaps we can do 2 leagues.

Also, if we end up with 14, we can do a league poll on standard or PPR.

Submitted my info, definitely down to play if you're still in need of a player.

In the continuing spirit of appropriating this topic to find concert buddies, if there's anyone else interested in seeing O'Death (alt/gothic country/folk/americana/whatever) in Durham on Wednesday, Nov. 12, hit me up. $10, General Admission, The Pinhook.

Also, I'm firing shots in the best fantasy football team name battle.

I like team names based on one of my best players, so I'll wait to compete with you until after the draft.

I don't move until a week from now, but today I started listening to North Carolina's NPR station. This is starting to feel real.

Does anyone know when our loans get disbursed?

Does anyone know when our loans get disbursed?

I think it's the first day of classes, but I cannot find an email or webpage to corroborate that...

Edit: It's certainly not earlier, according to this page:
http://www.law.duke.edu/admis/financial/handbook/sec3

"Loan funds are not available prior to the start of the semester."

The date that I saw on ACES was Aug. 15, but I don't know if that's actually accurate or not.

I've been here since the middle of July and I'm pretty bored. If anyone else is getting here early, let me know. I'm def down to hang out.

I won a wrestling match with the DukeCard submission program tonight.

Oh Right. I still need to submit my picture. Every time a situation like this comes up, I'm always tempted to do something weird, like put a temporary mike tyson style tattoo on my face just to see if they'll print it.
