<p>n by dumb i din mean anything...im hystericall..sorry fr the typo</p>
<p>alu, you just saw that article? Wow, it's been raging on in the Parents Cafe for a long time. As for NW vs. Duke, depends on aid, too, I guess. I'd go for NW, though..</p>
<p><em>hugs ronty</em></p>
<p>i seriosuly hope the lacrosse scandal isnt stoppping any of ya;ll from attending duke.</p>
<p>its a terrible thing but its definately not a reflection of duke. we wouldnt be the fifth best school in the country if we were all raging rapists now would we?</p>
<p>the incident occured during SPRING BREAK when NO FACULTY OR COACHES WERE PRESENT at an OFF CAMPUS house.</p>
<p>im an international at duke. if any of ya'll have questions about duke.life at duke etc shoot me a pm. trust me- everyone at duke is ridiculously friendly and the rape is not a reflection of the student body. </p>
<p>the parents on CC, just like the studnts on CC, tend to be the over anxious type who love to worry too much. this whole incident has been blown completely out of proportion here on CC. </p>
<p>do not let this incident come between u and duke. its a great school w/ great people.</p>
<p>whoah, someone got raped at Duke? And some African American visitor was stabbed at Cornell. And the bitter irony is that the situation is still better than that at most Indian colleges.</p>
