<p>IMO i think duke is better. . .but that's probably just the side of me wanting to get away from atlanta.</p>

5

<p>well ; when i visited, duke seemed too straight-laced for me. yeah, i hear its a BIG party school ; but ... the people there seemed too boring. even the architecture screamed "boring catholic school". I'd rather go to Emory. it seems more fun, & atlanta is a WAY better city.</p>

6

<p>Both are great, but I'd go to Emory because Atlanta is a better city.</p>

<p>Check out <a href="http://www.studentsreview.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.studentsreview.com&lt;/a> and look up both schools. The comments are very informative, will add additional info to what you already know.</p>

<p>You are not official unless you come to the school. And are we called Emoryites or Emoroids?</p>
