How does Duke compare?

<p>I love Princeton and everything about it. That will never change. However, I am going to Duke next year. How does Duke compare to Princeton in terms of prestige, academics, and social life. I am going to major in philosophy/political science and want to be a corporate lawyer someday. Darn, I WISH PRINCETON HAD A GRAD SCHOOL!!</p>

<p>actually, princeton HAS grad schools, just not the traditional professional schools (business, law, and medicine) for which its peers are known. and to the extent that its architecture school, school of engineering, and woodrow wilson school offer "professional" training, princeton also has (at least a few) professional schools.</p>

<p>Can one answer my question about Duke though. I suppose grad school comments are a tad superfluous given my distant proximity to them and the fact that I'm going to Duke. So, how does it stack up bro?</p>

<p>I think Princeton has an edge with prestige and academics. Social life -- don't know much about Duke's, but some alums from my high school have loved it a lot.</p>
