“The teachers at Duke are typical college professors.Most of them have a uniqueness that makes their class more interesting, and they really lecture, too. But they do their job, and they do it well. The academic programs are notoriously excellent, and if...”

Diversity

Students at Duke seem to have found the academic experience, thanks in large part to their teachers, pretty satisfying on the whole. This is not to say that everything about Duke academics is peachy; some of the math and science professors certainly sound like they could liven up a little. There is also the age-old problem of distinguished faculty who are there for the research facilities and not much else.

Athletics

Have you ever heard of Duke basketball? If you haven’t, then you must have been living under a rock for the last 20 years! The current of basketball fanaticism pulses through everyone and everything at Duke. You see a ridiculously tall guy get on the bus, and the eyes of the students all around you light up.
