Really excited, got into the grad programs at Duke and UNC in economics. Duke offered me a 30÷ tuition waiver but UNC offered me a full ride + 15k stipend. Oh I forgot to mention I also got full tuition waiver. + funding at Rice. Really happy with financial offer from UNC. Really love the research triangle. Do Duke students and UNC maintain a fierce rivarly as depicted on TV or are they both chill?? I know both school have collobartive programs and I was told I could even have Duke professors as thesis advisors for my dissertation.
no, duke and UNC students don’t maintain a fierce rivalry–outside of athletics. especially at the graduate level. as a senior economics major at UNC, coming to UNC was one of the best decisions i’ve made and i’ve been fortunate to have outstanding instructors. i’m miss chapel hill and UNC very much.
