Stay at Cal if you are serous about getting into a good grad school and beyond.
Go to Duke if you want to relax and get some (much, much) easier grades than at Cal. In fact, I think I heard Duke has one of the most inflated grading policy along with Brown and nobody really cares. Having a good basketball team is a plus if you care about sports. Compared to SF and the Bay Area, Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill is a mundane place, but I couldn’t find anywhere else in U.S. where people are nicer and more genuine.
