I might pick Duke just for the weather.
Basketball might be fun too.
Duke graduates seem more annoying than Cornell graduates by a large margin so maybe in the end I would pick Cornell.

I think Cornell is stronger in CS, but Duke probably has a better student life experience. I’d choose Duke.

We were in similar place and chose Duke after visiting the campus, some research and talking to folks. Duke is a stellar place and amazing resources! I would pick duke again if I had this choice with my second kid

+100 really can’t see a kid loving both, and happiness is more of a key to success here then which school. As you know quite well, both are good.

Cornell, hands down. Their CS program is great. Prestige is similar.

What does the kid prefer?

Both are great but they have different vibes.

My kid has gotten into both. Cost of attendance is almost similar. Which one would you recommend and choose ?
