[quote=Anonymous]I am a Duke alum and this is my first post on this thread. I went to Duke because it gave me the most non-loan financial aid and the weather seemed better than schools in the northeast. Duke seems to attract a lot of people's ire and I don't know why. It is a good school and many of my friends went on to get degrees at prestigious grad schools and great careers. It's not all white; when I was there it was at least 40% minority. The reason people keep calling it a "white" school is that the university is constantly addressing the antics of over-privileged, spoiled rich white kids while minority students and middle class kids are there to get an education and move on with their lives and maybe make a few good friends on the way. The lacrosse disaster, fraternities, the horrible town-gown relations get all the attention while all the normal students are just living their lives, enjoying a pleasant college experience.[/quote]
