[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for posting this!  Now I know where my child (a junior at a high school) has his impression that Princeton is toxic, but Duke is cool....

Look all of this is the confirmation bias of the individual speaking...but it is useful to hear validation that there are many different places where one can get a quality education outside of the "elite" colleges .... I get the sense that there are probably also kids at those non-elite colleges that are unhappy...but it is worth hearing from a student that we shouldn't torture our kids with pressure to get in somewhere, especially if they are not psyched about applying to a certain elite school....

If you want to disabuse your kid of the notion that Duke is "cool," look at the Cameron Crazies shouting death threats at a UNC basketball player (RJ Davis) last weekend and then throwing water and cans at the UNC players at the end of the game, which Duke lost.  It's like someone offered to pay them for being obnoxious and they offered to do it for free instead. [/quote]
