I've seen arrogance at community colleges. Assure yourself, arrogance exists everywhere.
I think it all depends on how much your parents are willing to help you with paying for it, and how you personally feel about debt in case they don't want to pay for it all.
Harvard sounds like a better fit for you all-around: I can't see anything that would truly draw you personally to Duke other than the financial situation.
Interesting that you feel so strongly that Harvard students/families are so arrogant that you would refer someone to Duke, but on your other posts you say that you are still waiting for Harvard to let you know if you made it off the waitlist. Please, no sour grapes!
My comment was not in any way a sign of arrogance. I was simply telling the op that if he is undecided and has only a short time to make a decision that he/she would not go wrong with a Harvard education. Please do not take any kind of arrogance from that.
