<p>If you’ve never been, you HAVE to go. Maybe Mr Robertson can get you tickets. ;)</p>
<p>They probably would have been pretty close this year if not in Louisville bracket.</p>
<p>We have Jazz where I am, but looks like college scene is even more amazing for those games.</p>

<p>Yeah I wasn’t saying spending a sem. at UNC is a bad thing, in fact it’s considered a ‘public ivy’ and the campus is beautiful in its own right (not quite as nice as Duke’s though, simply because of the fact that Duke has a more pedestrian-friendly campus with less intersecting streets, and smaller quads)</p>
<p>I keep forgetting that many of you are parents, I keep thinking only high schoolers are on here :)</p>
<p>No problem. Some of us parents hate Carolina at least as much as you do. (Well, unless someone is buying me dinner at Crook’s Corner.)</p>
<p>Darthvader, I’m not being harsh, just playing devil’s advocate. Seriously. Dreams don’t pay the bills either and I know exactly what he’s going through. Life throws curveballs at you most of the time and having to be saddled with debt like that may prevent you from realizing your dream vocation or aspiration because you’re slaving away to pay your student loan. You know? </p>
<p>I’m just saying that if the OP doesn’t realize what the true benefits are and it doesn’t click for him then he may always feel like he’s “settling” for what he feels is an inferior choice and that’s not what that type of scholarship is for.</p>
<p>Kelowna - thanks! That’s what I was thinking about. Sometimes time & experience are the best teachers.</p>
<p>OP: if you’re still having trouble deciding, put on a Duke shirt, then put on a Yale shirt, and see which one feels better, because you’ll probably be wearing one or the other for…forever. How’s that perspective :)</p>
<p>lol!! Ultimatefrisbee, I like that idea. :)</p>
<p>It’s what I did! …after all you’ll be inexorably tied to your school for a long, long time</p>
<p>Just popping in to extend congrats to Kelowna’s son. See you there.</p>
<p>Robertson’s Scholars do not spend a semester at UNC. They have to take a certain number of classes there over their time at Duke. You don’t have to LIVE there. You’re still a Duke student.</p>
<p>Dartdart is mistaken. There is a mandatory campus switch during the second semester of sophomore year…</p>

<p>Like I said you have to spend a semester at UNC.</p>

<p>“Robertson Scholars enroll in and graduate from one school or the other, but they take courses at both. They also spend a semester in residence at the other campus.”</p>
