Duke students celebrated the Last Day of Classes throughout the day Wednesday on the Main West Quadrangle. The day included performances from Jay Sean, Flogging Molly, Rooney and Big D and the Kids Table, as well as food and drink vendors on the quad. Thursday afternoon, The Chronicle interviewed several students about their thoughts on this year’s LDOC. —compiled by Rohan Taneja
“I was happy and surprised that the majority of the school participated. Most students wanted to go, whether they drank or not and whether they liked the acts or not.”
—C.J. Hunter, freshman
“I would want more active things to do during the day next year because there was not a lot going on until Mulan Sing-Along. It would also be nice if they listened to the students a bit more about what bands they want.”
—Megan Sherrell, junior
“It was nice just getting to hang out with everyone in a really relaxed, happy atmosphere.”
—Jacqueline Lash, freshman
“The University’s limitation of amplified sound before the event was surprising. It was a chill environment but some more music would’ve been nice.”
—Vinodh Chandra, freshman
“I was a little concerned about how the acts were going to work out, but I thought they definitely were energetic and did a great job—Flogging Molly had an awesome set.”
—Marcus Molchany, sophomore
“Get rid of the wristbands. If we have a celebration this size, people want to invite their friends, and the policy probably leads to even more problems.”
—Daniel Murray, freshman
“What I appreciated about LDOC was that outside of basketball, it was one of the few opportunities for the entire Duke community to come together for an amazing end to a long and busy year.”
—Josiah Littrell, graduate student in the Divinity School
