USC vs Duke!

We visited Duke last summer. I have to say Duke’s and USC’s tours were the best we had. However, in the end, my kid did not apply to Duke because of the location. Not only is the separation with the freshman/main campus an issue, but the isolation of Duke from Durham was a problem as well. You would need an Uber, car or bus to get off campus. Durham is really small too. Taking rides from campus to Durhan (and to visit nearby Chapel Hill), it seems if you were not affiliated with Duke (parent, working there, etc), there seemed to be a disdain for Duke. I didn’t like that the school wasn’t supported.
