<p>can we get some descriptions please</p>
<p>what if someone from duke wore a unc shirt to a basketball game lol?</p>
<p>unc - great education (not stellar). big (impersonal?). Cheap. </p>
<p>duke - outstanding education. smaller (more personal?). Not Cheap. SMARTER STUDENTS</p>
<p>unless u have close to a full ride to unc and no money to duke, i'd choose duke...</p>
<p>UNC was 2X more expensive for me out of state than Duke...</p>
<p>UNC is a less intense environment, and has some dedicated schools such as for journalism which Duke lacks. However, most students want a broader education either way.</p>
<p>I obviously recommend Duke over UNC, but UNC is also a fine school.</p>
<p>I'm oos and, this year, a good friend of mine from elementary school that I had not seen in YEARs moved near me (by complete chance) and we now go to the same school again. I am heartbroken, however, to learn that he's set on UNC while i'm prepared to go to Duke. I feel like we're brothers torn to two separate ways..=p</p>
<p>has a duke student ever had a unc student as a girlfriend...lol</p>
<p>lets just call duke the sharks and unc can be the jets</p>
<p>I envision myself having a star-crossed romance with a UNC girl....Late night rendezvous on the Robertson bus...Hiding under the bleachers at the Duke/UNC basketball games...k i'll stop.</p>
<p>padfoot - here's the opening chorus for your romance - with all due respect to either William Shakespeare or Francis Bacon:
[quote]
Two universities, both alike in dignity,
In the fair Triangle, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the freshmen dorms of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take the bus;
Whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows
Doth with their dating bury the alumni's strife.
The fearful passage of their blue-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their suitemates' rage,
Which, but their roomates' hookup, naught could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
