Duke’s student housing explained Duke students are required to live on campus for six of their eight semesters as an undergraduate. That means getting familiar with Duke’s housing model is a must.

allowing them to select their rooms. Under the new model, students have the right to return to the house they stayed in their second year.

The University consists of three campus—East, West and Central. All first-year students are required to live on East campus, but after that, students can either live on West or Central campus. With the University entering its third year of a new housing model, students are still adjusting to a different looking campus.

These assignments mean that Central is significantly more concentrated with selective groups than West. Twenty-three of the 51 houses on West are marked as selective, and 22 of the 29 houses on Central are occupied by selective groups.

All nine Panhellenic Association sororities, six fraternities and seven non-greek selected living groups currently reside on Central Campus. The remaining 10 Interfraternity Council fraternities and 13 SLGs are on West Campus. Independent students—those not affiliated with a selected living group—are randomly distributed throughout West and Central campus, with a lottery procedure

Going into this year, groups cannot apply for new locations, and new houses cannot join the model. Students applying for housing are now able to rank houses in order of preference and can choose to live in gender-neutral houses. The University approved genderneutral housing in April 2012, and selected five houses to be designated as gender-neutral this past November for the coming

academic year. Two houses in Kilgo Quadrangle and one house in Few Quadrangle were designated as gender neutral. Additionally, there will be two independent gender-neutral houses on Central Campus. Gender-neutral houses have both single-sex and gender-neutral bathrooms, as well as gender-

neutral bedrooms that allow students of the opposite sex to room with each other. Students entering their senior year can choose to stay on campus or move off campus. Students who choose to move off campus have a large variety of local apartments to choose from.

Chronicle staffers offer tips for apartment hunting

• Stick to your budget. Determine how much you can realistically afford to spend and don’t deviate from it.

• Get an estimate from the complex before you visit. Find out if an apartment is affordable before you visit so you don’t get swept up in a home’s appealing features just to find out it is out of your price range.

• Count your deposits. Keep track of the different deposits you will need to make for additional expenses like utilities and insurance to make sure they don’t push you over budget.

• Look presentable to the landlord. Dress nicely and bring confidence to your first meeting; have a list of questions ready. First impressions mean a lot.

• Get everything in writing. This goes for your landlords and your roommates. Know exactly what you’re signing up for to avoid unwelcome surprises later.

• Choose roommates wisely. Living off campus brings a whole new set of responsibilities like paying bills, buying groceries and cleaning the bathroom. You want to live with someone who is dependable and doesn’t mind sharing the load.

• Purchase renters insurance. Make sure your belongings are covered in case of an emergency.

• Inspect the apartment before you rent and after you move in. Make a note of any problems there when you move in so they can be addressed right away, and you can’t be charged for them later.

• Meet the neighbors. Get to know the people you’ll be living near, so you have someone to keep an eye on things when you’re away or help if you get locked out. Also, ask how they feel about noise at night or on the weekends. You should always be respectful, but some neighbors are more sensitive than others.

• Don’t forget about parking. Make sure you won’t be forced to park three blocks away. If you don’t have a car, live closer to campus. Maybe look for a roommate who has a car so you can steal a ride to and from campus if it’s pouring rain or late at night.

• Check the little things before you move in. Find out where you can do laundry, make sure there are plenty of outlets, and find out about cell service and internet connection. It’s easy to fall in love with an apartment’s look or low price, but you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

Remember, the Duke Community Standard Applies Off-Campus as well. “The honor code at Duke is named the community standard because it expresses our institution’s core values and a concomitant set of expectations for behavior. Because behavior is derivative of fundamental values, the standard applies off campus as well as on. The principles it articulates, while lofty in one sense, are firmly grounded in individual decisions made on the ground every day about every aspect of undergraduate life, in academic

wherever else students may go.

Get to know places to go in Durham The food mecca Southern Living Magazine called Durham the South’s tastiest town, and that’s no surprise with the amount of restaurants that have popped up over the past couple of years. One of Durham’s most recent hot spots is the Parlour—originally a food truck, the recently open store can be found at 117 Market St. and offers eclectic flavors such as avocado and purple sweet potato. Another recent Durham treat is Monut Donuts. Located on East Parrish St., try out a wide array of flavors from chocolate to salted bourbon. But in case you don’t have a strong sweet tooth, try checking out Pizza Toro on E Chapel Hill St and taste its oven-fired, homemade pizzas. You can also swing by Bull City Burger, which sits across the street from Monut Donuts, for some duck frites and a juicy bite.

Take a break from Duke Sick of studying in Perkins? Need a change of pace? There’s a lot to do in Durham! Take a visit to the Durham Bulls, the Triple-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. Made famous by the 1988 movie Bull Durham, the team draws in record crowds all season long, often filling its 10,000-seat downtown stadium designed by the architects of Camden Yards. Not a sports fan? Check out the Museum of Life and Sciences at 433 West Murray Avenue, and be sure to stop by their Magic Wings Butterfly House.

Explore outside of Durham Looking for a fun day trip? There are a lot of places you can visit that lay just thirty to forty minutes outside of Durham. Try hiking along the scenic Eno River. Two local favorites are the hiking trails at Few Ford Access and Durham’s city park, West Point on the Eno. Not an outdoor person? Drive into Chapel Hill to try out some new restaurants and shopping.

Duke favorites There are some places most Duke students will at least check out once. If you ever need to pick-up a birthday gift or tune in for some retail therapy, head over to Southpoint Mall at 6910 Fayetville St. The mall portion of Southpoint is open until 9 p.m., but you can also head over to the movie theater afterwards as well. Also, keep an eye out for the North Carolina State Fair in October. Running every weekend in October, the state fair offers tons of rides, games and food. Just be sure not to eat the fried oreos before the Pharoh’s Fury.

Shop local Just off of East Campus, Ninth Street has a ton of quaint stores that speak to Durham’s artistic community. Stop by Vaguely Reminiscent for some quirky gifts or eclectic earrings or Zola Craft Gallery for some fine art. You can also take a short drive to Brightleaf Square for some more shopping. Visit Offbeat Music for some vinyl records or cross the street and enter Morgan Imports and find anything you may need for your dorm room.

Workout Don’t enjoy exercising in the gym? There are a lot of workout spots worth trying both on Duke’s campus and off. Duke’s East Campus loop is 1.64 miles long and offers a great way to see the surrounding Durham area and all of East Campus. You can also try the Al Buehler Cross Country Trail, a hilly, three-mile loop that circles around the perimeter of the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Course. There are also access points throughout Duke Forest that can offer more secluded running and hiking trails. Try the Shepherd Nature Trail located off of NC 751 at Gate C that is .8 miles long.

An afternoon delight For both students and locals, there’s no better place to have an afternoon picnic or study session than the Sarah P. Duke Botanical Gardens. You can sunbathe on a blanket or throw a football on the spacious South Lawn or grab a seat with a book along the terrace. Watch the garden’s resident ducks and geese from one of the bridges over the pond in the Culberson Asiatic Arboretum.

While most people have experience with roommates before deciding to move off-campus, apartment living can present unique challenges to the roommate relationship. While questions of dirty dishes and space allocation may persist, off-campus roommates must also navigate issues of rent, utilities and leases. Whether you’re living with your best friend or virtual strangers, consider some of these points with your potential roommates before committing to an off-campus relationship: • Determine a fair way to divide rent - While many roommates choose to divide rent evenly, complications can arise when rooms are not equal in size or amenities. Some roommates are willing to pay more for a room with a better view or more windows, but be sure to discuss these issues before the rent is split. Consider having an objective discussion about the pro’s and con’s of each room before selecting rooms. Setting the rent for each room beforehand will allow tenants to consider their own budgets when deciding which room to select. • Discuss who will pay for utilities - Paying for utilities is one of the big differences between living on and off-campus. In addition to rent, most tenants will also need to cover bills for water, electric or gas, cable and internet. While some apartment complexes include certain utilities in the cost of rent, many expect these costs to be covered independently. Not paying utilities on time can negatively affect your credit score if the utilities company reports delinquent payments and a negative entry from not paying your utilities could impact your payment history calculation, which accounts for 35 percent of your total credit score. Be sure to coordinate with your roommate about how utility costs will be divided and how you will ensure that payments are submitted on time. • Carefully consider who you add to your lease - Landlords operate leasing arrangements in different ways. Some may offer the option of choosing one roommate as the primary leaseholder with all other tenants considered subleesees. In this situation, the leaseholder has sole responsibility for upholding the lease agreement and can generally evict subleesees who do not abide by the terms of the lease.

***Applicants must be 18 years of age or older to apply. This will be applied as a credit to your account. All Fees are non-refundable. Must provide at least 3x rental amount at time of applying.

Leasing Office Hours: Monday - Friday 8:30-5:30 Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm Sunday 1:00pm - 5:00pm 100 Alexan Drive Durham, NC 27707 P: (919) 490-6990 F: (919)490-6998

www.aldenplaceapartments.com leasing@aldenplaceapartments.com

Other landlords will require all roommates to sign on as cotenants, sharing equal responsibility for the lease. If one co-tenant does not pay rent or breaks a rule, the landlord has the right to evict all roommates. If offered a choice, carefully consider which options best fits you and your roommates. • Keep the lines of communication open - Use the conflict resolution skills you learned freshman year! Conflicts between tenants are often inevitable, but the more thought that goes into planning and negotiating prior to moving in, the more comfortable all roommates will be. When problems do arise, address them calmly and directly. Consider your phrasing–rather than addressing the issue in an accusatory manner (“You always turn your rent in late and you keep making excuses”) try talking about how you feel (“I’m afraid we may lose our apartment if we don’t get our rent in on time”). Since you can be evicted based on a single roommate’s actions, get the landlord involved only as a last resort.

Unique neighborhoods around campus Picking a home off campus may be difficult with so many options, so its important to know about some of the different neighborhoods nearby where there are often houses to rent. American Village A subdivision near downtown Durham that offers a mix of old and new residential homes. Where: Off Morreene Road Price: $400-$2,000 a month History: Watts Carr, who was the president of the southlands association, and Buddy Whitfield, the vice president in charge of the association’s

real estate division, created American Village in the late 1960s. Watts, who was influenced by his military career, named many streets off of World War II battles. The neighborhood offers apartments, single family homes, condominiums and duplexes. The village continued to grow and develop throughout the 1980s and 90s, and now offers a social center and park. Burch Avenue A neighborhood between the Durham Freeway and Chapel Hill Street that offers both Victorian and Minimal Traditional homes.

Where: A five minute drive from West Campus off of Duke University Road Price: around $1,000 a month History: Burch Avenue developed in response to Durham’s growing population at the beginning of the twentieth century. Its proximity to lumber and stone yards made it an ideal location for contractors, carpenters and other building tradesmen. The creation of the Durham Freeway in the 1970s brought the neighborhood into steep decline as it severed its connection to downtown Durham. However, its proximity to Duke’s campuses has made it a desirable location to University students and faculty. Downtown After a period of neglect, downtown Durham has undergone a major revitalization in the past couple of years. Where: Follow Main Street into the heart of Durham History: There’s a lot happening in downtown Durham. Southern Living Magazine named Durham the South’s tastiest town this April. Durham began in 1854 when the North Carolina Railroad Company built a station. By 1900, 6,500 people lived in Durham, and by 1910 the population soared to over 18,000. However, in 1985 a mass exodus to the suburbs left Durham desolate. It has since then undergone a revitalization—restaurants have popped up, the artistic community has grown and Duke has even begun to occupy downtown space. Trinity Park A neighborhood adjacent to Duke University’s East Campus that largely consists of residential homes. Where: The heart of Trinity Park is a ten minute drive of East Campus Price: $850-$3,000 a month History: Trinity Park was created in the 1800s and experienced rapid growth when Durham became a bustling tobacco and textile industry in the 1850s. Trinity College existed at what is now known as Duke’s East Campus, and Trinity Park, therefore, served as a home for professors and students of the college due to its close proximity. The neighborhood experienced a slight decline in the 1950s as Durham residents moved into the city, however it has since become a popular area again for Duke students and professors. Watts Hospital-Hillandale: The neighborhood adjacent to Trinity Heights near the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics.

2530 Erwin Road, Durham, NC 27705 919.309.1409 • www.trinitycommons.com

Where: About a ten minute drive off of East Campus Price: $650-$1,500 a month History: Watts Hospital was created in 1910 at the intersection of Broad Street and West Club Boulevard. Durham’s trolley system, which ran at the intersection, spurred growth in the area. Watts Hospital eventually closed in 1976 and was converted to the North Carolina School of Science and Math. In 1998, Watts HospitalHillandale was named a National Historic District.
