georgetown vs. duke

<p>what would u pick for international relations/poly sci</p>

<p>Georgetown for International Relations obviously, but Duke for Public Policy/Poly Sci. Just my opinion.</p>

<p>Weird, I met a girl in Georgetown at GAAP in the EXACT same kind of predicament. lol. anyway, really, Georgetown is all about location. Duke can never compare if for no other reason than Georgetown being in the capitol of the most internationally involved (favorably or unfavorably) nation in the world, and Duke is in bumble**** carolina (at least by comparison). What it really comes down to is location and atmosphere. Who cares if Duke has a +0.1 rating for poli sci on rate-a-college.net? These are both tremendous schools. The quality of your education will, at this level, not come down to the sheer power of their faculty and academic structure but rather your own personal happiness. Go to the one you feel more comfortable at, go to the one that makes you feel happy when you step on the campus.</p>
