@happy1 My comment was related to a narrow topic of job marketability because the poster seems to be under the impression that location of the school is important.

The profile of the typical Duke student is much more compatible with what companies are looking for nowadays. There is ample evidence of this. 20 or 30 years ago it might have been different but things have changed on both sides of the equation. Columbia grads do not find jobs as quickly as Duke grads, nor do they earn as much on average. In fact, Manhattan College graduates on average earn more than Columbia grads and they also get jobs faster.

I would also suggest to everyone that if someone internationally has not heard of Duke then that person is not worth talking to insofar as employment is concerned.
