[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boston is always ranked as the #1 city for college kids.

Duke may have slightly better weather…but no college kid ever ranks Durham as a place they want to be.[/quote]

Agree. Boston is a magical place albeit cold. I know many social kids at Harvard who go to MIT/BU frats and other social events downtown. Durham is more isolated, and the only college aged kids there are Duke students. With the abundance of college students in Boston, you can easily branch out.[/quote]

Not arguing that Durham is a better city than Boston because it is not. But Durham is an up and coming place - really good food scene, bars, arts, etc. Until recently when it became less fun Duke's social scene was more self-contained so it didn't really matter where it was - tons of fun on campus - the Gothic Wonderland. Now, not as much. Also, Chapel Hill is very close and a great place - it is the quintessential college town. And Duke also has great sports which are a lot of fun - no comparison at Harvard.

And the weather isn't slightly better - it is a lot better. Though there is a Harvard lover in this thread who refuses to give in on this. Because they are special.

Different strokes for different folks.[/quote]
