| My spouse and I are both Duke graduates and our daughter turned down Duke for Michigan.
Michigan was the right choice for her academically (yes, she received a prestigious scholarship, but we would pay anywhere), and she is receiving a fantastic education (and is working, I might add, far harder than the average student).
She would have done well at Duke - too - but I would say this - the resources at Michigan are mind boggling - if you are a self starter - and this is more of a factor at U Mich - than Duke - there is real opportunity to take advantage of those resources at Umich. |
