<p>ok
i'd been confused about whether to go to duke or some other schools for a while.</p>
<p>finally i decided to just go and see for myself.. so i made the loooooooooooonng flight and visited duke for myself.</p>
<p>boy, am i glad i did. i spent a night in the dorm and was there for the BDD</p>
<p>duke is awesome.period.</p>
<p>i'd heard so much about racism, snooty kids blah blah.. turns out it was a whole bunch of BS. </p>
<p>so unless WUSTL turns out to be palace with harems etc, looks like i'm gona be spending a couple of months in a tent!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Great to hear that. This really is an amazing place to come to college. I dont know what drives so many people to talk so negative about Duke sometimes. If they spent some time here (especially during basketball season) theyll see how amazing this place is.</p>
<p>"WUSTL turns out to be palace with harems "</p>
<p>with the opinions of some people on the washu board you would think that it was heaven on earth</p>
<p>but in reality, it isnt</p>
<p>my brother's at wustl and he absolutely loves it there. (which is probably an understatement)</p>
<p>but i think me gona be a dukie baby!!</p>
<p>(the frst faculty member i ran into was president dick brodhead, then i met the basketall player JJ)</p>
<p>i'll take it as an omen from the gods</p>

<p>Dickie B is a cool guy. Hilarious name that we've had a lot of fun with, but no one's holding that against him. Must have sucked growing up with that name, though.</p>
<p>yeah.. but not as bad as the racing driver DICK TRICKLE</p>
<p>WHY WOULD ANYONES PARENT'S DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO THEIR OWN SON?!!!</p>
