Answer 1

u.s. news consistently ranks duke as one of the best universities in the nation.

duke`s rankings:

#3 Best College Library

#12 Best College Newspaper

#17 Jock Schools

#16 More to Do on Campus

#10 Students Pack the Stadiums

#7 Town-Gown Relations are Strained

#16 Best Athletic Facilities

that sounds good, ya?

i imagine it is dificult to get into.  one of my friends went there and he liked it a lot.  he joined a lot of clubs and never came home for winter break.  the weather in NC is supposed to be pretty awesome too.  

also:

The typical Duke student “is someone who cares a lot about their education but at the same time won’t sacrifice their social life for it." To go to school here is to find the perfect balance.

i hope you get a scholarship if you go... tuition is pretty up there!
