 Something about the Duke "brand" attracts pricks and Philistines. Congratulations on having the good sense to make your escape while you could. |

Major: Unknown (This Major's Salary over time)
Spent a year here and transferred out. Best decision I've ever made. The academics were top-notch—professors were hands-on and engaged with students. The social scene was abysmal - very dependent on fraternities/sororities and selective living groups (co-ed social groups). Social events after first semester are closed off to people not affiliated with these groups. I've spoken with independent friends who remained at Duke and many of them expressed similar sentiments. On the whole, a great experience academically, but the lack of social programming for independents was disappointing.
