[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do we think Duke falls on the grind-culture spectrum for engineering (BME?) Northwestern? Case? I’m kind of hoping my kid chooses Wisconsin or Pitt over Michigan because my impression is that those school cultures seem a bit friendlier and less intense — not academically, but in terms of personalities? Is there anything to that or am I making things up? She is really hoping for some intellectual heft — defined more by depth than by workload — where kids help each other and aren’t constantly trying to out-gun each other. Does this exist for engineering? Or is the grind factor overblown? [/quote] BME was the absolute hardest major at Duke when I went there. But the kids in that major were by far the smartest kids. For the right kid it isn't too hard. My roommate was electrical engineering. She made it look like a cakewalk.[/quote]
