Assuming I get a R2 interview invite, are there any resources about the best way to get to Duke from NYC?
I'm wondering this myself. From what little research I've done, there's an Amtrak (Carolinian) that is a direct from Penn Station to Durham, NC. This puts you at about 3 miles from Fuqua.
There's also RDU (Raleigh-Durham international airport) and that's 20 mins by cab away from campus.
If anyone has more insight into this, please share! Thanks!
I live in the tri-state area as well. I think there are three choices, depending on your situation.
1. Drive - which is 8 hours nonstop. But then you would have a car to get around and visit the surrounding areas if you want
2. Fly - which is 2 hrs nonstop or longer. It'd be convenient, but like farful said, it's 20 mins away from campus
3. Amtrak - which takes I think 10 hours or something like that. But it's much closer to school than the airport
Amtrak will cost you 200 bucks RT, driving will probably be 30 bucks less, and flying is about 200 and up. I'm going to be flying down there unless I can convince my buddies to do a road-trip with me.
