<p>I’m a class of 2016 student so I have no first-hand experience with research at Duke, but from what I’ve heard, its pretty easy to obtain a position.</p>
<p>And normally, I would say that difference in strength between Williams and Duke is negilible enough that it should come down to personal preference. But OP is already more inclined towards Duke’s atmosphere and there’s more financial aid. I think unless he finds something enticing about Williams to justify paying 60k more, the money should have already decided for him.</p>
