Duke DPT is proud to announce that Katie Lyn Beasley and Rachel Groff (Class of 2011) have been slated to the APTA’s National Student Assembly Board of Directors and Nominating Committee.  Katie Lyn and Rachel are candidates for the positions of Secretary and Nominating Committee respectively.  Within the APTA, the National Student Assembly serves as the governing body for all PT and PTA students. Numerous Duke students have served on the Assembly in the past, and we hope that Katie Lyn and Rachel will have the opportunity to continue the legacy. Duke DPT wishes both of them the best of luck on this exciting professional endeavor.

Life Around The Triangle
 
 
 
The Triangle, area which consists of Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill is a pleasant place to live and has been at the top of several "best places to live" charts because of affordable housing, culture, and vacation. Yes, students can actually own a home! Research Triangle Park, home of several high-tech industries and pharmaceutical companies, is found at the intersection of the Triangle.
 
Housing






 Housing in Durham or Chapel Hill can be found within 10 - 20 minutes from the hospital. There are several apartment complexes nearby which also have exercises facilities and pools. Townhouses and home are affordable and conveniently located in communities around the city. Information about rentals or properties for sale is available in the Duke House Staff office.

Childcare






 Childcare is available through multiple avenues. Duke runs its own childcare facility with extended hours - availability is limited. Most residents who have their children in daycare either have a childcare professional in their home, take their child to daycare provider, or use a professional agency. Home childcare providers in the Triangle area must be registered, have CPR training, and pass a safety inspection of their house.
 
Recreation
Sporting events are very popular because of the strong rivalry with our neighboring universities. A night at the Durham Athletic Park to watch a Durham Bulls game, or the RBC Center to catch a Hurricane hockey game are popular pastimes among residents.  
 
Golf courses can be found throughout the region. Parks and lakes are easily accessible within the city and county areas.
Music and dance flourish with the annual Broadway at Duke series and many other shows and concerts throughout the Triangle.
Getaways to the stunning Smoky Mountains to the west and the breathtaking Carolina Shores to the east provide excellent vacation opportunities. The nearest beach is only two hours away.
 
Travel



 The Raleigh-Durham International Airport is conveniently located about 20 minutes from Durham and has direct flights to most major cities in the country.
