<p>I like Duke (which may seem weird because it's so different from UChicago but . . .) I have a semi-acquaintance, semi-friend there who's pretty much a nerd, and he likes it fine; if you don't like the pretentiousness, just don't hang out with pretentious people.</p>
<p>I'll admit I'm a bit leery of the frats and social climbers there, though.</p>
