^^^What they said, they’re even on academics & alumni. What is your daughter like? What kind of social environment would she be happy in?

Duke’s campus and climate is gorgeous, certainly would not disappoint! A lot of social activities center on Greek life/sports, so if that’s something your daughter is excited about, it would be a good match. Of course, Duke can also work for people who know Greek life isn’t for them and confidently seek out other activities & like-minded folks. I hear it can be trickier for people who feel left out of selective groups, but haven’t found their niche/people. “Preppier” overall, lots of ambitious students focused on having fun while getting into finance/consulting (also tech, law, politics)

Brown is pretty too and Providence has more of that dynamic small-city feel (lots of restaurants, arts, concerts). Second semester the weather is kind of a drag until April, but that’s what good coats and spring break are for! Students are known for being more creative/intellectual/woke, and the social scene tends to be more open (some frat parties, but also house parties, events in Providence, etc). More hipsters and hippies. Hope that helps a bit!
