<p>My DS, who decided on Dartmouth, visited a friend who was a freshmen at Duke during the search and spent the weekend. He had recently done the same at Dartmouth. While Dartmouth certainly parties, he was shocked at what he saw at Duke. The difference, as he reported it, was Duke’s open acceptance of freshmen getting wasted. Remember, after the frat parties they have to get on a bus to E. campus. Campus security just watches it all whereas at Dartmouth they would actually bust you.</p>
<p>Another thing to consider, do you like to drees to party? Apparently at Duke and Vandy girls clutch Prada’s to go drink punch out of a can. Guys dress to the nines too. That ole Southern charm is alive and well.</p>
<p>So where can you kill more brain cells faster IMO? Duke or any other Southern schools. Those Yankees know when to stop.</p>
