Duke University shuts down 'K-Ville' due to flu concerns
DURHAM, NC (WTVD) -- Duke University's "K-Ville" is closed after some students there got the flu, school officials said.
Krzyzewskiville, also known as K-Ville, is located outside Cameron Indoor Stadium and students camp out there to get tickets for basketball games.
In a memo to Duke families, Larry Moneta, Vice President for Student Affairs, said they're taking a "cautious approach with K-Ville." He wrote, "To be clear, K-Ville residents are 'on grace' for now. We'll be evaluating conditions daily and hope to re-open K-Ville as soon as possible."
