Most overrated college in the country

<p>Just to start some fights.</p>

<p>My pick is Duke. Maybe its because I'm on the west coast and only hear about it because of coach K, but I really don't see what's so special about this school. It seems like a good school, but in the top ten of the country? Why?</p>

<p>I won't respond to that. :mad: </p>

<p>most overrated = WUStL</p>

<p>overrated: berkeley. Everyone thinks it is good 'cause of grad. NOBODY likes it for ugrad. it is a piece of crap for ugrad and most everyone chooses UCLA > Berkeley for undergrad. Berkeley for undergrad is the same as penn state.</p>

<p>Is hyperventilation possible on a chatroom? I can almost see duke3d4 crying as he furiously types out his message. That said, your opinion is as valid as mine. Just don't take it so seriously.</p>

<p>I can see you still crying from yesterday when me and other ppl PWNED berkely and now today u have to make a post to shore up ur insecurities.</p>

<p>nice try but u lose again. everyone can see through the big hole berkeley has left u. maybe u can attend duke if ur lucky someday? perhaps u can transfer.</p>

<p>^
LOL G&S. The only thing I have against Berkeley is the housing shortage.</p>

<p>You pwned berkeley? I don't speak internet nerd, maybe you can translate. Just grab a paper bag, breath into it for a minute or two, count to ten, wipe away your tears and come back an pwn (whatever that mean) berkeley some more. BTW, too bad duke lost in the ncaas, now its not known for anything. And good job defending the school that you claim to go to. You really convinced me that its an awsome place.</p>

<p>You're the internet nerd who had to make a whole new thread to diss Duke. Good job you lose again.</p>

<p>I would have to say Notre Dame.</p>

<p>Duke not known for anything? Dude, you just sank to duke3d4's level.</p>

<p>I would have to go with WUSTL as well...and no it's not just because I was waitlisted :P</p>

<p>Um, about the Berkeley thing, I'm just not even gonna comment. But you had me rolling on the floor laughing.</p>

<p>Wow, now I'm convinced that duke is good. Thanks! Maybe someone that actually goes there can tell me why I'm wrong. Seriously, why is duke ranked so high. What programs are better than everyone elses, either in undergrad or grad? I'm not saying they don't exist, but I just don't know about them.</p>

<p>Bottom line is : I'm happy with my school
You: Make new threads every day dissing my school 'cuz u can't stand going to your crappy one. </p>

<p>Good luck at berkeley. I'll fax you a Duke transfer app next year.</p>

<p>H-A-R-V-A-R-D. Its the truth.</p>

<p>Penn, Notre Dame, WashU, Emory, Penn State, and Michigan</p>

<p>So true. I mean Duke isn't known for anything except its top-ranked departments of Economics, Political Science, Biology, Public Policy, Religion, English, Biological Anthropology, Biomedical Engineering, Classics, Environmental Science, Math, and Medieval Studies. And a world-class medical school. And a world-class divinity school. And top-ranked law and business schools. And the FOCUS program. And the largest science research facility in the country. And some of the largest plant research and papyrology facilities in the nation. And an average class size of 30. And the largest collection of primates outside of Madagascar. And study abroad programs on almost every continent. And 95-98% med/vet/law school placement rates. And Duke Forest and the Marine Lab, each a significant research institution.</p>

<p>Jeez, Duke is apparently a horrible school. ;)</p>

<p>I agree that Duke should not be ranked so high, but then again, they are well known in a lot of areas. One would be Medical.</p>

<p>What, you can't come up with one program at "your" school? Bottom line is : you have nothing to say. Have I pwned you?</p>

<p>OK, I hate to intervene in Gentleman's and Duke's fight, but I just have to say, Duke, if you HONESTLY believe that Berkeley is a "crappy school," then you're just a complete dumbass who doesn't deserve to go to a school like Duke. Personally, I don't think that Duke is over-rated; I think it's a great school, but Berkeley is just as good.</p>

<p>GentlemanandScholar, you are awesome.</p>

<p>Warbler, please post the data that backs up your assertion about duke's top programs.</p>
