Duke has great weather and while you would study Econ, check out their “Certificates” which are in addition to majors and minors and many are specifically related to business. Social life at Duke is great and school spirit is special. Getting tickets to basketball games is not automatic for students. (think tenting). ND is a special place and the alumni network along with the Center of Social Concerns provides many summer service opportunities with housing provided by the alumni. All students can get into every football game. Their basketball arena is huge compared to Cameron, so ND students can go to many games. Cornell’s Dyson is heavily recruited by companies similar to the other schools. Cornell has the Campus to Campus bus to NYC. Hockey games are big at Cornell. In general, students live on campus for 3 years at Duke and Notre Dame (even same dorm) and then move off because they want to which creates a lot of community. Cornell has guaranteed housing for 2 years, but students don’t mind living in College Town which has great energy. Greek Life is a factor at Duke and Cornell, not at ND. While it is cold at Cornell and ND, you are walking up a lot of hills at Cornell, so you certainly will get exercise there. Duke has 3 campuses (West, East & Central), so if you are living on East or Central, you are taking the bus to classes. The students don’t mind.
