<p>Hmm. Looks like you can’t go wrong at either school if you’re using “strong black community” as a factor. From warbler’s data it looks like both Duke and WashU are ranked highly for being great communities for black students.</p>
<p>So it might be a tough choice. How is the quality of life at Duke? One of my friends here actually transferred from Duke to WashU; I’m not sure about her reason. </p>
<p>Just to put in a shameless plug for WashU, this school has got everything for the students. Great food (top ten of all universities); comfy dorms with housekeeping, huge common rooms, ACs; happy students, friendly staff and professors… the list is endless.</p>
<p>Decide which school you’ll be the happiest at.</p>
