And that’s good about the Alumni presence, because I was stupidly believing Duke’s alumni usually stayed in the south so it’d be harder for me to get a job in, say, NYC



NYC is ALWAYS the #1 destination for Duke grads.

Top 5 cities for Class of 2011:

1. New York, NY

2. Washington DC

3. Raleigh/Durham/Cary, NC

4. San Francisco Bay Area, CA

5. Boston, MA

Atlanta and Houston are the only two other cities that have made appearances in the top 5 in the past four years.
