<p>Yes, it feels FANTASTIC! I will.</p>
<p>I posted this in the Notre Dame forum, might as well do it here also…</p>
<p>I just visited Duke, and I am 100% certain that it is where I want to spend my next four years. I will always love and respect ND, but it will forever be my father’s college; Duke will be mine. The stronger physics program, access to Duke Medical Center, milder weather (I’m from the South), and slightly higher prestige are nice touches… but the real reason I want Duke over ND is Duke’s extraordinary campus. I got a great feeling from the students, and I found all the ones with whom I spoke to be passionate, engaging people. I have to admit, the decision came largely from my “feel” of the school; and my inclination is too strongly in favor of Duke to resist going. The Notre Dame family is REMARKABLY special. My own path, however, lies with Duke. Thank you all for the advice. God bless.</p>
