<p>If Duke is the same price as Cal, Duke all the way. Duke is not a regional school - you’ll get to work/go to school wherever you want after. I have friends here going to MIT or Stanford for their masters (schools that are not in NC, obviously). Also,</p>

<p>Duke = 6
Cal = 41</p>
<p>You’ll likely get better opportunities for a grad/professional school coming from Duke.</p>
