Norman Edwards, a sophomore majoring in psychology, moved to North Carolina with his family after graduating from Holland High. His dad works at a pawn shop and his mother does clerical work. Walking to his part-time job at the Duke University Medical Center, he wore red sneakers, jeans, a green henley and an immaculate chapeau. When other people are going to Europe for the weekend, it gets to you. Despite that, he likes the school.
Standards are high and the graduate programs are strong.
The law and business schools made the top 10, one said. Biomedical engineering is No. 4, said another. Sigma Nus were reclining in the sunshine. They love their bench, which is why they were already planning to truck it away Monday morning. Out the corner of his eye, he saw a delivery man, and he started to stand.
