[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for the talk about Vanderbilt, it’s tough admit shouldn’t be a surprise. It’s a simple combination of great academics, great social scene, great city, and increasingly good sports.  Basically, it’s has it all in a great environment. The recent slippage in the ratings is a shrug. Also, it hadn’t had the political craziness that many elite campuses in the NE have experienced. 
 
Upthread, there was a comparison to Duke. While Duke has a great campus, academics, and basketball team, Durham is terrible and the campus is segregated from the city. Also, while old campus is very collegiate, but the rest of campus feels very corporate. Not a great vibe. [/quote]

Duke does not have a “corporate” campus feel. What in the world are you smoking[/quote]

Agree. That’s wrong. It looks like Princeton. And have you been to Durham lately. Good restos etc. DS moved back after going to Duke. People know nothing here. Like the person who thought BU and NYU looked like UCLA. Geez.[/quote]
