And, as you've seen on this thread, the relative prestige of Duke and Amherst is not as absolute in favor of Amherst as you seem to think it is--I'm entitled to say that Duke is more prestigious in my area, which is it, just as CoolaTroopa is entitled to agree with me on that issue.

<p>"I'd say in New England, Amherst is more prestigious (Duke is far more prestigious in the south, I'd assume) Don't let it be a deciding factor, though. Go to Duke if you love Duke."</p>
<p>How did you get into Duke without being able to read English?</p>
My courses thus far have ranged from 7 people to 15 people, with the two outliers of 90 (organic chem) and 1 (independent study). Personally, I think classes smaller than this would be TOO small.</p>
<p>As for treating basketball players like idols...no. There were a couple in my freshman dorm last year, and people treated them like normal students (except to cheer like mad during games).</p>
<p>Hah, I love how you have nothing that's actually intelligent or constructive to say in response to my own defense, so you just make a lame attempt at a personal attack once again.</p>
<p>Once again, definitely pitying your future classmates.</p>
