Huge differences between Duke and Columbia. Both are awesome academically. Biggest differences are with student life. I’d say if you have an independent streak, Columbia’s your best bet. But if you don’t mind going with the flow most of the time, Duke’s probably your thing. I know two Class of 2014 EDers who chose Columbia and Duke respectively for these reasons. Be sure and visit both before making your decision. Best of luck to you as you begin your college experience.
