Hey everyone! I’m not a Duke student, but I’ll be around Duke tomorrow evening (Wednesday 2nd ) and figured I’d see if anyone wanted to meet up.

I’m really interested in startups, CS, AI, and tech in general, and would love to meet some Duke students who are building things, working on interesting projects, or just enjoy talking about the space.

If anyone’s interested in grabbing coffee or just hanging out and talking tech/startups, feel free to DM me! Would be cool to meet some people while I’m on campus. Coffee/Food is one me 😁

Last year I was tricked by Chapel Tower Apartments (owned by “GSC”) to extend my lease. There is a clause in my 45 page lease that says the tenet needs to provide 60 days notice to vacate. This is double the amount of time for my past leases with a notice to vacate, but not inherently problematic.

The issue is they start sending letters and emails to tenants saying they have until 30 days before their lease to decide if they want to renew their lease at the same rate, but they say nothing about the 60 day deadline in these communications. A reasonable person would read those letters and think they have until 30 days before the lease to let the landlord know if they should renew their lease.

However, if the tenet misses the 60 day deadline, Chapel Tower extends the lease by the amount of time past the deadline and does so at a higher rent. Chapel Tower claims that the 30 day deadline was actually just about renewing the lease and it is separate from the 60 day notice. I have never heard of a situation where these are two separate events, and separated by a month.

My lease was extended by over a week and I had to pay hundreds of extra dollars, even though I was already moved out. I was talking with another Duke graduate student that also fell victim to this scam. Has anyone else been dealing with this?

Its from the early 90's late 80's. Does anyone know how much its worth?

Hi everyone! I work at Duke and have had Duke Basic for health insurance for 7 years. Under Aetna, I always just owed my copay for any appointment, preventative or diagnostic. Now, since the Cigna switch, I’m being charged a facility fee of $32.66 as well that insurance doesn’t cover. Doctors and facilities are the same. Cigna is not very helpful and just tells me that the facility fees are subject to the deductible.

Has anyone else seen these additional charges since the switch to Cigna?
