[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was interested in and accepted to Duke, and interviewed for the AB Duke Scholarship.  When I was walking around I apparently walked too close to a fraternity that at the time was allowed to occupy space in one of the Gothic dorms on the West Campus.  Some bro leaned out a window, deliberately poured out a beer cup two feet from where I was walking, and yelled an obscenity at me.  Then I got hosed for the scholarship but still invited to attend as a regular admit, by which time I'd already gotten into an Ivy.

Duke was the first school I then let know I wouldn't be attending.  That felt good, although when I visited a friend at Duke during a break freshman year and it was in the low 80s in NC vs. the low 60s at my school I had second thoughts.  [/quote]

I am sorry to hear you had a bad experience there. It seems like the culture has changed from whenever you were looking at schools, that's at least the impression DS and I got from when we visited. It had a fun yet highly academic environment.[/quote]
