“Vanderbilt is considered the Harvard of the South” Fiske Guide to Colleges. Never ever ever has that been said about Duke. But ultimately, who cares? Well I’ll grant you that the level of snootiness and elitism at the Ivies and at Duke probably are on a par with one another. To escape that one must venture a litlle further south to Vanderbilt.

“Duke is very much like the Ivies, but with less intellectual ********, less liberal hegemony and a “just-get-it-done” attitude. It’s the Ivy’s little, bad-ass brother.” That, Jc is a joke!

Back to the original post from John and rankings and how he will fit in at Vanderbilt. John, were you born in an Asian country or live there now or are you an American with Asian background? You sound like an American that probably speaks a foreign language and English and have parents that were born in an Asian country. If so, you are like me except I am an American with a latin background. I know how the colleges like to label us for their statistics and such and who we are is a very real thing, but when you go to school at a place like Vanderbilt in a region like the South you will be first welcomed as an American. If you aren’t American then you will be welcomed as someone who wishes to share American values, or why would you bother to try and get educated in an American system, and that is all good.
