slipper - how many courses at Duke do you think are taught by TAs? That's a statement I've honestly not heard cast against us before... Recitation and discussion sessions, sure, but the courses themselves - including our required first-year writing course - are either faculty or subject matter experts brought in from industry or practice.

I would also say that Duke, too, has excellent study-abroad programs and partnerships maintained by a very experienced and active office of study abroad. "The outdoors at" Duke are also beautiful and also a real part of the experience.

I am in no way diminishing Dartmouth; I just don't believe this is a zero sum game where Duke needs to be diminished either.
