Travel
The closest airport to Duke is Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). It’s a short drive from the airport to Durham and Duke (20 minutes).
Uber and Lyft offer service from the baggage claim at each RDU terminal and are also quite available throughout Durham. However, please note that you are not able to take these services directly to the West or East Campus main bus stops (the closest drop off to the library). The drivers will be required to drop you off at an alternate nearby location. See https://today.duke.edu/2017/08/ordering-ride-new-rules-apply-campus-areas.
For additional information on ground transportation options, please visit RDU’s website.
