<p>That’s not necessarily true about the Boston/NY thing. I live near Boston, and I know lots of people who went to Duke, a few who went to Georgetown, and none from UVA. Also keep in mind that twice as many students attend UVA as opposed to Duke or Georgetown, so obviously you’ll be more likely to run into its graduates.</p>
