Just responding to your comment that Duke is more “white boy frat culture” than UNC. Statically, 20% of UNC’s student population is in Greek Life, while only 10% of Duke’s is. Similarly, while UNC is 60% non-Hispanic white, Duke is 43% non-Hispanic white. So Duke is meaningfully more diverse than UNC. Chapel Hill itself (the community) is 72% non-Hispanic White while nearby Durham is 49% non-Hispanic white.

Politically, 74% of Chapel Hill voted Democrat in the last Presidential election while 80% did in Durham.

93% voted Democrat in Berkeley, with 4% voting Republican (in NC most who didn’t vote Democrat voted Republican).
