This inevitably comes up every year. I’d love to answer this if it hasn’t already been done…five billion times.

There’s actually a very recent topic that touched on the first stereotype a bit:

I’m too lazy to find more.

As for


Duke dominated by New Jersey people…nope, I’ve met a lot of Cali and NY people though besides people from NC
Duke dominated by Asian/Indian…they are a significant portion of the student body, particularly in Pratt, but I don’t think it’s on the scale of say…Berkeley where white people is actually a minority (or close to being one).
