that’s one of the things i’m really factoring into consideration. if the classes are online this fall, will duke be worth the extra cost? and that’s really the real question. IS the extra cost justified to attend an ivy-like school? or does it not matter?
and yes i do ultimately want to settle back in california. but i’m thinking in summers i can get some dot-com internships in silicon valley and i think both usc/duke pedigree would help with that…
