[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD admitted to Brown and Duke last week. We don't qualify for any FA, so the cost is virtually the same. DD plans to study premed track. We had visited both schools earlier in our college tour, and DD liked them both. DD has no idea where to stay after graduation from college. We know that they are both good choices, but DD has hard time to make a decision. She's frustrated. Please provide some suggestions. Thank you very much in advance.[/quote]

Congratulations to your daughter! She must be a great student! And both are great schools! I'd choose Brown because it's in the Northeast and is an Ivy and has a less Southern frat-boy reputation. I think both schools are excellent choices. Where does she want to be geographically? Does she mind the weather in Providence? Does she like Boston? It's an hour from Brown. Duke is in the research triangle, so there's lots of opportunities in that area and better weather.  Does she have some idea of where she'd like to end up? Brown graduates go anywhere, so that's not a real consideration, but she'd be spending four years in the Northeast, so ought to like it. It can get gray in the winter, which can get you down. I feel like Brown has a slightly better reputation than Duke, but that's my NE prejudice, I'm sure. [/quote]

We get it, you like the Northeast.[/quote]
