We pride ourselves on the spirit of community at The Forest and how friendships seem to magically blossom among the many incredible people who live and work on our campus. Whatever path led them here, we’re so grateful that our residents chose to live within our community. In the following testimonial videos, a few Foresters reveal some of the reasons why choosing The Forest at Duke was the right move for them.
