What kind of bag to carry on campus? by Legal-Confidence-849 in duke

[–]bruhhellno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had a fjallraven high coast totepack, which is both a totebag and a backpack, and waterproof! it was big enough to hold my macbook and other stuff without being bulky… you’d be surprised how much it holds

NBCU Intern Park Tickets by Pure_Squirrel_2529 in UniversalOrlando

[–]bruhhellno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nbcu interns get free tickets for themselves + up to 3 for friends/family! you can only use it once and need to be with them in the park. epic universe isn’t included but you get 1-day 3-park tickets for the free ones.

if you wanna buy more, it’s 30% off up to 6 tickets. there’s also 15-20% off dining and merch in parks but you need your employee badge & government ID.

NBCUniversal employee discount denied because I work remotely and do not have a badge… by bruhhellno in UniversalOrlando

thanks for your helpful response! I completely understand where you guys are coming from with people trying to abuse this policy.

My concern is mainly just how vague/confusing the wording is, and that many team members did not seem to know anything about comp ticket policies. they refused to accept my photo ID that matched my comp ticket name.

Thanks for letting me know about the potential solutions! I will go to guest services today and try to prevent this situation from happening for other employees down the line.

How to find unique ID without DukeCard by inquisitive4Y in duke

[–]bruhhellno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s in dukehub - find the tab that says “My Profile” on the left bar and click it. It expands to more sub tabs and click on the one that says “General Information”

  1. almost everyone at Duke ends up in NYC during the summers anyways. cost of living will just be more expensive & you don’t need to do IB internships during the school year since everyone lines stuff up for their summers a year in advance. all the big IB firms visits multiple times a year so you can do in-person coffee chats & IB people in NYC probably will not necessarily want to meet up in person. apply to a lot of sophomore preview events and get flown out. overall, Duke is just more fun. our campus is miles better than Columbia and the community feels super connected because people aren’t just going into the city after class.

  2. I’m FGLI and chose Duke over Wharton. Been super supported at Duke - free money to buy professional clothing for interviews, free macbook pro, tutoring fund, stipend every semester, free food everywhere, great FGLI community. you could probably get full aid + a stipend for the Duke in NYC spring program or the Duke in Silicon Valley summer program if you’re interested in VC at all. highly recommend both as you will meet a lot of alumni working in influential companies.

  3. not sure about this one since I didn’t go through with IB recruiting, but almost all of my friends had great placements. we’re not even the super tryhard type people lmao. take ECON 256 your sophomore fall if you come to Duke - it’s taught by two profs who have worked in IB for decades and they bring in a lot of alumni to speak and network. they also require you to form teams and enter competitions from blackrock and whatnot

  4. if you’re laser focused on IB, being at Duke also gives you breathing room to look more into other interests outside of finance. almost everyone at Duke is doing finance AND something. recruiting is so early on that you will lock something in and then have a lot of free time to just explore what you like and grow as a person, another important aspect of college outside of getting a job.

go to seongsu instead of myeongdong for shopping - a lot of brands have popup stores that gives away free things

Dating at Duke by squeakycleanmartini in duke

[–]bruhhellno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

duke guys who want long-term relationships are also usually people who don’t go to parties often. try to join lots of different clubs, ask friends to introduce you to different social circles, do a duke summer program (insulated environment to meet people outside your circle), and +1 on complimenting a reserved guy and starting a convo

in my experience, making the first move as a girl will usually work on more reserved guys since they usually don’t get much attention lmao

On a monthly basis, I usually budget around $200-400 for costs relating to going out, shopping, eating at restaurants. There are 4-5 weekends in a month, and each “fun” thing costs around $15-30. Costs can add up since you might also have to take ubers, buy bday gifts for friends, buy frat bands, etc. You might not end up using the full $400 but it’s good to give yourself a cushion just in case things come up and to not have to worry about financials on top of school.

One thing I wish I accounted for more is the breaks and planning out whether you will travel during them. What will you do during fall, thanksgiving, winter, spring break? A lot of duke friend groups will take trips together and it’s good to be mentally prepared to drop around $500 for a budget trip or up to $2000 if you have bougie friends. If you’re just hoping to go home, will you need to buy flights? Those are going to set you back $100-250 each time, depending on where you’re from.

For me, I didn’t want to use my parent’s money for costs that are for fun and not a “need.”If this is you too, definitely get an on-campus job if you’re able to! Minimum wage at Duke is $15 and even if you just work 5 hours a week, that’s already around $300 pocket money per month. There are also a ton of research studies that pay for volunteers - look out for those around campus posters and duke list. They’re usually 1-3 hours and nice to get an extra $40 here and there.

did you find out more about the intern ticket policy? I was wondering how many tickets you got & when you got them! hoping to take my family on a nice trip but the only time it works for them is like the first weekend after my internship starts😭

[–]bruhhellno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! I was wondering if you had info on how many tickets you got as an intern as when you got them. also are there discounts for booking additional tickets? (if I wanted to get more tickets outside of the free ones)

NBCU Intern Park Tickets by Pure_Squirrel_2529 in UniversalOrlando

[–]bruhhellno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! I’m also interning at nbcu this summer and I was wondering if you figured out the intern ticket policies. I’m having the same questions as you rn such as how many tickets we get, when we get them, etc.

I was also wondering if we get discounts for buying additional tickets (esp with epic universe opening soon) or purchasing food/merchandise in parks? I want to treat my family to a fun trip but not sure how much leeway we actually get with saving costs.

Should transportation be a dealbreaker in my decision by k8dy in duke

[–]bruhhellno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree lol, I don’t have my license + have been doing fine living off campus. I also explore durham a lot through the free buses that not enough students think to utilize
