I live less than half an hour away from Pomona and even here Duke is more well-known!

I’m a big fan of Pomona. It is an academic powerhouse and a school that can legimately lower the yields of HYP and AWS. But if you are looking for sponsorship afterwards (ie employment in the US), Duke is a far more sensible choice. Duke is one of the most recruited schools in the nation and you stand a better chance of finding a sponsor-willing employer.

If you are set on grad school then both Duke and Pomona will prepare you well for that, if you take advantage of the opportunities they offer.
