I went to one of these instead of Duke.

It's one of the biggest regrets of my life.



Did you go to grad school?

Correct. Don't be misled by the name if money makes a difference.

The culture at Duke is really different than the culture at UVA. Durham is not as nice of a town and further away, but the smaller size might be of interest.

How rich do you have to be for this not to matter? Because there are thousands of VA, NC, SC, FL, GA residents at Duke that turned down damn good flagships.

If you have the money why not?

We are not super rich so If I had that kind of money, I would save that money for my kids and make sure that they never incur student debt. I would maybe think about putting that money ad the down payment for their first house. In other words - I can find better use of that $160K than hand it over to Duke.
