This was a few years ago, but my daughter went to a summer program at Duke University to check the place out. She stayed in their best dorm. She absolutely hated everything about Duke. The parking lot and driveway leading to the dorm was difficult to drive through because of the size of the potholes and cracks, and meanwhile right next to it Duke was putting in a new surface for a sports field. It was like they could care less about how their students lived. My daughter also felt like all the Duke students she met there were unhappy and less than enthusiastic about their experience. This was confirmed later when I took her to dinner with two friends of mine who graduated from Duke, and they both emphatically told her not to go there.
