Duke it Out: How Far is Duke From California?
So, you're dreaming of trading in the golden state for the Blue Devil life, huh? Or maybe you're just planning a cross-country road trip and need to know how long that drive to Durham will be. Either way, you've come to the right place for some serious distance education.
California Dreaming... of Duke?
Let's get down to brass tacks: it's a long way from California to Duke University. Like, really long. So long, in fact, that you could probably watch every single episode of "Friends" twice before you even get halfway there. But hey, who's counting?
If you're looking for the exact mileage, we're talking about a cool 2,200 miles. That's roughly the equivalent of driving from New York to Los Angeles. So, yeah, pack your patience, your favorite podcasts, and maybe a comfy pillow.
Flying the Friendly Skies
Now, if you're not a fan of road trips (or just really hate driving), you can always opt for air travel. There are plenty of flights from major California airports to Raleigh-Durham International Airport, which is a short drive to Duke. Just remember to factor in travel time to and from the airports, and don't forget to check your luggage weight. Nobody wants to pay extra for those extra pairs of jeans.
