Duke's campus spans over 8,600 acres (3,500 hectares) on three contiguous sub-campuses in Durham as well as a marine lab in Beaufort. The West Campus-designed largely by architect Julian Abele-incorporates Gothic architecture with the 210-foot (64-meter) Duke Chapel at the campus center and highest point of elevation, is adjacent to the Medical Center. East Campus, 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometres) away, home to all first-years, contains Georgian-style architecture. Duke's student body consists of 6,526 undergraduates and 9,108 graduate and professional students (as of fall 2019).
More than 400 student clubs and organizations operate on Duke's campus. These include numerous student government, special interest, and service organizations. Duke Student Government (DSG) charters and provides most of the funding for other student groups and represents students interests when dealing with the administration. The Duke University Union (DUU) is the school's primary programming organization, serving a center of social, cultural, intellectual and recreational life. There are a number of student-run businesses operating on campus, including Campus Enterprises, which offer students real-world business experience. Cultural groups are provided funding directly from the university via the Multicultural Center as well as other institutional funding sources. One of the most popular activities on campus is competing in sports. Duke has 37 sports clubs, and several intramural teams that are officially recognized.
