What’s missing?[/quote]

Very few Duke kids go out 2-3x a week, not counting the first week or so of fall semester. 1 is typical, maybe 2. Vast majority are not greek. Duke is more social than some but not all of the ivies, but just like Ivy/chicago/stanford it is filled with super high achievers who do research, run clubs, have internships during the semester on campus or close. T[b]he do-it-all mentality and obsession with grades is much different than Duke in the early 90s(93 grad w a 24 grad kid). [/b]
The nephew at northwestern and it is per him more academic/intellectually focused on studies than Duke. To us as parents/grown siblings the students sound similar at NW and Duke

Also a Duke 90s grad.

My friends and I all did interesting things outside the classroom, including Greek life, but we each had an interest or activity or two, not the "do it all" / resume-building approach of high-achievers of this generation. Yes, the academics were difficult at times, but there was a real sense of balance between working hard, going out, and watching all the games during basketball season. :)

What schools are currently like Duke in the 90s? Vandy? Wake?

What schools would you say have the mindset and culture that Duke did when we were [/quote]
