<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>I go accepted into both Duke and Cornell for next year. I am still not sure which one I should pick and know that the engineering programs are both really good (biomedical at Duke and bio at Cornell). It would be great if I could get a better Idea of the differences in student life and the environment/atmosphere at each one.</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
<p>First off congrats. Cornell is in the middle of nowhere in upstate new York in the same town as Ithaca and from what i’ve heard they party very hard up there cause there is not much else to do except skiing and hiking. Obviously duke is very basketball oriented but not really sure that much on it’s social life. I would recommend Cornell just based on education and prestige, plus I hate duke.</p>
<p>Both are excellent. If you can visit, that would help. Is your financial situation different between the two?</p>
