Rice or Duke?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Duke University

<p>I've been accepted to both and Rice is giving me a great financial package, a grant of about $32500 which includes a scholarship, whereas Duke is giving me $11,000 plus $2,000 work study plus $5,000 in loans which comes to $18,000. i'm thinking about majoring in Biology and i'm not sure which to pick. Rice appears to be a great school but Duke seems to fit my character more.</p>

<p>does anybody have any advice or suggestions?</p>

<p>It sounds like Duke "fits" you better, and yes, I think it has stronger programs in general. </p>

<p>It comes down to the $$$. Will you need the money you wouldn't get from Duke, or can you afford to pay it? If so, go with Duke. If not, Rice is an awesome school, and it sounds like you'd be royalty there.</p>
