Keep in mind though, all you need is a close group of friends to initiate an intellectual conversation but it requires a certain type of student culture to have a thriving social scene and Yale can’t replicate Duke’s strong D1 athletic tradition with the most successful college basketball team in the modern era.

<p>It is wrong to imply that Yale does not have a thriving social scene. It most certainly does, including fraternities/sororities and active local bar/dance clubs, if that is what you are looking for.</p>

<p>With regard to athletic tradition, Duke can’t beat Yale’s historic football rivalry with Harvard, which is a huge annual event, and Yale’s successful D1 hockey team was ranked #1 in the NCAA this year.</p>
