basically title says it all. I want to major in social sciences and everyone says Duke will give me a leg up. I was not planning on attending either school so I do not know which I prefer. Things I like/do not like about both. I like Rice’s res college system but not their size. Like Duke but not their housing/greek life. People keep saying name matters?? Anyway Rice would balance out my college fund while my parents would take out a 67,000$ total loan for Duke. Is it worth it?
Are you a high school senior now? If so, don’t you have to make your decision…now?
My opinion. Rice is every bit as good a school as Duke.
@thumper1 If you see my other thread, you will realize my parents may actually be crazy and change their minds every few minutes. Yes, I am a high school senior and have about an hour. Not how I planned my decision to go (in the original post I didn’t plan to attend either) but this is the dice life rolled.
I’m looking at this thread only. Go to Rice. It’s a great school, and frankly Duke is not worth an additional $67,000 in debt, in my opinion.
Thanks, officially committed to being an owl!
Congratulations! That is a great decision.
