Colleges and Universities A-Z Duke University

<p>I hate "vs." threads, but I'm having such a horrible time deciding that I'll post anyway.</p>

<p>Duke- Not very far from home (1.5 hrs?). I liked the campus, and the biology program is amazing. I also really liked the social scene (+basketball, of course). I'd also like to do a FOCUS program. I didn't get very good financial aid at all, but they're reconsidering it.</p>

<p>U Chicago- Liked the atmosphere. It has an awesome biology program and NELC, which I've been considering as a minor/2nd major (Duke doesn't have it). Excellent financial aid. </p>

<p>Help me, please...</p>

<p>both are good academically. university of chicago has a lame social scene, but if you are getting money it is something to consider. See if Duke comes back and gives you money...</p>

<p>Get Duke to give you more money and come. I can't see you regretting going to Duke, but I can definitely see you regretting going to U Chicago--just look at some students' reviews on studentreviews.com. It seems like a pretty pathological place.</p>
