[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^+1 The Duke Chapel is the centerpiece of Duje University. Easter and Christmas services are remarkable. No longer exclusive to Protestants, the Duke Catholic Newman center uses the Chapel for Catholic Mass. Catholics are the largest single denomination on campus.[/quote]

I'm Jewish and I absolutely loved the chapel - seeing it from various points around campus, finding little nooks to climb up into to do reading in bewtween classes, and attending events inside.

When I brought my kid to visit campus the first time, they were so excited to explore it and very much understood and felt the magic.

Between the chapel, the gardens, and the separate East Campus (with completely different architecture), the physical aspects of Duke are as special and appealing as the academics. And then there's Cameron. Games there are an absolute dream come true for some kids - mens and womens games, both. (Quite different vibes but both amazing.)

And . . . there's so much about Duke that is NOT appealing to some kids. Just like other schools. What feels magical to one kid can feel derivative to another. One kid's "lovely, contained campus" is another kid's "isolated and claustrophobic setting."

Definitely need to visit both schools to understand and decide. [/quote]
