Duke of course! You don’t have to mess around with that terrible snow and whatnot. North Carolina has a great climate. Duke has a great basketball team. If you take away the academics of the schools and just look at student life, Duke is the obvious choice. Then think about academics. Both of them are prestigious institutions but You’ll have more fun at Duke.

The the poster above who said that Durham is a poor and dangerous city, it is in parts but it is a very big city. The reputation of Durham is not very great but there is more to the bull city than what you hear. Duke is located in a nice part of Durham. So safety is nothing to worry about.

The academics of Duke and Yale are pretty comparable. Yale just has more prestige. That says nothing about the academic programs. I suggest that you look at which one you like better, for the campus, the student life and other things rather than the name. Both schools will put you along in life, I suggest that you attend the one that calls to you more.
