<p>hahaha.......</p>
<p>i dont think they went out of their way to do it since you probably paid for it in the tuition (only you just don't know it). and not trying to burst anyone's bubble, i heard last year, dukies got ipods.</p>
<p>you most definitely burst my bubble.</p>
<p>mine too .</p>
<p>sorry! but seriously, they practically bought the ipods themselves since duke probably took it out of their tuition. go get your own ipod! $300 if nothing out of $30,000! make your parents get it for you as a "congrats-you-got-into-yale" present. that's like the least they can do for you for getting into yale.</p>
<p>wow. my bubble is beyond popped. but it's okay, I don't really <em>need</em> an IPod. At least a shirt keeps me warm...</p>
<p>I think they had to use the ipods for school, though. It wasn't just to keep for themselves for music. They needed it for class, scheduling, and other things to keep the students coordinated.</p>
<p>yea, a duke rep who came to my school managed to cook up all sorts of "academic" reasons for the ipods. In that case, why don't all schools (cough cough YALE) provide such a bonus? :P</p>
<p>right.... "academic" reasons. that's just what they tell ya. i don't think teachers would be very happy if all his/her students had their earphones on during a lecture even if they were fore "academic" reasons.</p>
<p>Who wants an Ipod for academic reasons? That's what a laptop is for, and that's what I'm getting as my "getting-into-Yale"/graduation present. I don't think mp3s will type a term paper for me. We Yalies don't need pop technology to convince us to attend...;)</p>
<p>Oh That'd be awesome if it said 2009. I'd wear it with such pride...pride like 9th graders walk around with on the first day of school because they think their bad-azz high schoolers. </p>
<p>THat's cool that Duke kids get ipods, but I mean did you hear their nickname? The dukies? DUKIES? I'd rather be a Yalie with a T-shirt than a synonym for feces with a high tech toy</p>
<p>Hahahahah dukies!!!!!!!!!!!! I never knew that. That's hilarious. Me too, Yasdnil, I'd rather be a Yalie with a t-shirt any day!</p>
<p>Most people already have mp3 players by now, no use for another iPod.</p>
<p>i kinda just made the dukies thing on the spot. i'm glad it provides some sort of entertainment.</p>
<p>dude, what a gyp. last year they gave us NADA :-(</p>
<p>....except for an acceptance to Yale....</p>
