<p>If you do a quick word search of this thread, the only person who uses the word “best” is you, so I don’t know who you were quoting that from. Compared to Berkeley and CMU, I whole heartedly believe Duke would give the more balanced college experience for the average student. The fact that you transferred from Duke and yet post here all the time bashing the school says more about your own bias against the school than anything else. If you found somewhere else where you were happier, that’s great, but the fact that you weren’t able to find your own niche here puts you in the small minority as the vast majority of people I have met have loved their Duke experience, many of whom are not the party-types.</p>
