[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some comedians that we are supposed to like yet few people actually think they are funny. Howie Mandel, Whoopi Goldberg, & Pete Davidson come to mind.

Duke is sort of like that. We are all supposed to think it is great, but it’s not clear WHY. Highly ranked departments? No. Impressive graduates? Dick Nixon? Great campus? Sorta. Fun location? Nope. Makes its students more likable than when they arrived? LOL. [/quote]

THIS.
I am a PP who was deciding between Duke and Dartmouth almost 30 years ago. I ultimately picked Dartmouth partly because my alumni interviewer from Duke was such a definition of a bro that I could not get over it. I almost reported him to the admission committee, and my guidance counselor had asked me to report him, because his behavior was so inappropriate.  Most of the Duke alumni I've met since then fit that stereotype. I know it's a good school, great even, but something about it just didn't feel right to me. I loved my time at Dartmouth and was not in a frat. [/quote]
