Chicago and Penn's business school are also ahead of Duke from a prestige perspective.

That is what everyone in NC called it. It used to have a ridiculous number of oos students and guess which beautiful state they all escaped from?

A lot of schools are called that because Jersey has such sh!t colleges (Princeton excepted) that students have to go elsewhere for a decent education.

I like Duke but am not overly impressed though I'm onboard if DC is admitted and still wants to attend.

So Dukes and Dukettes out there...what is so great about Duke that I should join DC on the bandwagon??


Not a *southern* university — that’s just geography. Students from all over the country and the world attend Duke for its renowned degree programs. Not to be confused with other flagship universities located in the South. Duke is very selective (acceptance rates in the single digits) Kudos and best of luck to your DC!



Nice try at a dig. Don't worry, we're aren't worried about Dookies, you can stay in your lane and have fun in Durham.

PP. Ok. fine. but I assume mykid would actually go to class. I really am stumped by the Duke campus. It looks like an office park, what am I missing?
