<p>Several European students that I met at the London School of Economics were impressed when I told them I go to Duke. One German guy said the school is "very famous" in Europe.</p>
<p>From Today's Chronicle (Duke "Going Global"): </p>

<p>duke is a great school, no doubt, but I don't think it has as long of a history of excellence as say the Ivy League, MIT, Stanford etc....hence it probably isn't nearly as well known as the aforementioned schools. That being said, Duke is still a great place to study, and will be respected by a lot of people, both domestically and internationally.</p>
<p>haha, ok CORNELL2011... but yea, of course duke doesn't have the "history of excellence" since it is much newer...</p>
<p>Duke Definitely ranks among the very highest levels in academia. No doubt about it. Its international presence should be on par with HYPSM.</p>
<p>Duke doesn't have international full time campuses do they though? I know most major research powerhouses....like Johns Hopkins to name a few have outsides campuses in Nanjing, China, Bologna, Italy, Singapore, and Washington D.C. Haha, sucks for you guys.</p>

<p>Duke will have a medical school in Singapore starting next year.</p>
<p>Thats pretty impressive...How many US Applicants do you think are going to apply? Its kinda far away...</p>
