<p>My son got a half-ride at Rice but wants to go to Duke, who offered no money. His reasons are that Duke has a Greek system, which he feels is integral to college life, Duke has sports family at home can cheer for, Duke has a better name with grad schools, employers, etc., Duke has better running trails and outdoorsy opportunities, and Duke has better weather. What can I say to make the playing field more equal for both schools? Which would you choose?</p>
<p>@casser: I suggest you post on the main Duke forum, instead of this one.</p>
