Both schools are enormously well respected; as are both engineering schools in particular (with NU’s possibly having a marginally superior ranking, but as I recall the difference was insignificant).
You are correct: Evanston and Chicago beat the heck out of Durham. On the other hand, many people think that Duke’s campus is more attractive.
That being said, you are talking about very small differences in terms of academics and reputation, so your decision should be based on where you’d rather be for the four years of your college life.
