"But it's the parties in Durham that have been the most controversial in recent years - prompting one local leader to compare Duke students to cats who use the Bull City as their sandbox."

'I've lived in this neighborhood for 15 years, and when the students are out of town - or Duke is not in session - these problems do not exist,' said Trinity Heights board member David Bowden.
"Why did you arrest me?" asks the student in the video.

"Because you're under 21," an officer responds.

"The entire population is under 21. That's not fair!" she complains.

When pleading doesn't work, she gets angry and plays the Duke card.

"I'll pay your f---ing fee! I don't care! It's nothing!" she cries. "I don't care! I just don't want this on my record. You don't understand, okay! Like it doesn't matter. I don't go to f-ing Durham Tech. I don't go to Central. I go to Duke."

"I hate you guys. I hate you. You're so awful," she continues. "I don't give a f---! It's $100 dollars. I can make that like in a day!"

"Just wait until I get back home to New Jersey. I will sue you!" it went on.

Nah, they would complain and say the same things, but then couldn't come up with the money to pay the fine. :)

I agree...Chapel Hill has its share of elitists there..................however, dook is a university thoroughly consumed with it's image and pseudo-Ivy League status....and that's what makes this more special.

1) Did you come up with that yourself? I must say I don't agree with it, but it's pretty good.
2) I would appreciate it if you would spell Duke D-U-K-E.

Hey, before we jump all over NJ it is important to identify what part of the state she is from. Her attitude sounds alot like a North Jersey liberal than a South Jersey person.

1) I know quite a few current grad & undergrad as well as former students from that university.......& they agree with that statement. No, I did not come up with that myself...it came from someone who completed their graduate work at dook.

2) That ain't gonna happen.
