fair enough.

The Duke lacrosse scandal was the result of an over-zealous prosecutor. It had nothing to do with campus politics at the time. Duke at that time was a super apolitical school. I knew lots of conservative people, many children of Republican political hacks. Duke was a nice preppy safe space for them. I know because I was a senior at the time.

Either you weren't there or you have a poor memory. Don't you remember how the faculty ("group of 88") jumped on the bandwagon and humiliated themselves and the University? And how about those settlements the University had to pay out to the men falsely accused? I would never let my child apply there nor were they interested. The University has gone extremely left to the point that the degree is worthless. If you want to spend $75K a year to turn your kid into an angry, unemployable SJW, go at it, but it's not worth it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_88

You won't hurt for a supportive alumni network if you stay on the east coast. And everyone will hate you when it's basketball season (but they are just jealous).

Not jealous this year, right?

The millionth time for this hilarious joke.

Sure UVA mom.
Duke is the quintessential all around great school. Only other comparable school is Stanford. Yes, it does have a lot of students with hooks there but so does Stanford, and UChicago is test optional now, so it's hard to say if everyone belongs there either.
MOst of y'alls kids have trouble getting merit from UMD so I'm confused with what Duke (or any other southern elite) has to do with you all.

Only other comparable school to Dook is Stanford? Funniest thing I've heard all day.

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

Trump went to Penn. That has seriously damaged their reputation.

Oh, yeah. People are turning down Penn in droves.

NP here

If it is an all around great school like you say, aren't they producing all around great people?

Because you are personally a pretentious little shit who tries WAY too hard to knock others down to make yourself feel better. You couldn't have possibly gone there, right?

Ok, keep believing that. Duke grads are insufferable.
