<p>Honors program, 5 K merit scholarship at Carolina or Duke w/o anything else? i got into both</p>
<p>Both sound like pretty sweet deals to me. What do you plan on majoring in?</p>
<p>Depends which school you like better. I visited both campuses 2 weeks ago and I LOVED DUKE but could not stand UNC-it looked extremely rundown for being a "world-class institution". Duke has far better academics, in my opinion (and better athletics!)</p>
<p>duke, hands down. It's just a better school in general. I would kill to have gotten in there.</p>
<p>Duke all the way. Just stay away from the lacrosse team if you know what i mean. ^_^;;</p>
<p>lol yea i know what u mean. cant believe they would do something like that . . . especially at duke of all places.</p>
<p>the thing i'm wondering is whether duke is worth the price. my family has the ability to pay for it the only thing is i'm not sure if its worth it.</p>
<p>i'd choose duke. i think later on, when you get a job, the starting salary and such would make up for it plenty. =] so, think of it as an investment haha</p>
<p>if you do well at unc you'll do just as good as someone out of duke. duke isn't an "investment" when the other school you're talking about is unc. of course if you like duke better you should go there, but in terms of academics duke isn't any better - especially since your in the honors program at unc.</p>
<p>Duke</p>
<p>(try not to be in the same social circle as the lax players)</p>
<p>visit both of them to get a better feel for the schools if you haven't already. Money may not seem like an issue but it's best to have as little debt as possible.
Since you are in the honors program at UNC, i feel academically they are equal, so I would go with the location/environment/size you would feel more comfortable in.</p>
<p>yea i know what u guys mean. i'm visiting both this coming weekend hopefully that will clear somethings up for me.</p>
<p>DUKE!!!! I'm really really biased, because I'm in love with Duke basketball. But personally, having been to both campuses, i thought that Duke was loads better.</p>
<p>Tarheels rock! Plus, Duke is 12 miles away.</p>
<p>DUKE! i think it has a better reputation and is more selective (but thats prob. b/c im from NC)</p>
<p>Duke. Don't worry about the lax players haha.. several of them are very stand-up guys, the not so great ones I'm sure you can pretty much avoid.</p>
<p>yeah it's too bad for lke the 10,000 posters on the lax scandal thread,
today the dna evidence came back</p>
<p>DID NOT MATCH ANY LAX PLAYERS.
SHE HAD NOT EVEN HAD SEXUAL ACTIVITY THAT NIGHT.</p>
<p>only thing they have is that one of the non-accused players sent messages saying deragatory things about strippers, and he already got expelled.</p>
<p>the kids aren't gonan get charged</p>
