This school is a "work hard, play hard" environment. The greek life rules the social scene and is mainly jewish. Many students do not realize this before attending Duke.
As a science major I thought one of the best things about Duke was opportunities to conduct cutting edge research under the guidance of professors and graduate students. I was committed to gaining great research experience and Duke provided me with that better than a smaller private school or a huge public school could have. Socially I was a little less happy with Duke. Proviledged students were definitely over represented at Duke. Eventually I found a group that I felt comfortable with in PWILD, a backpacking club. Academically Duke was everything I wanted though.
While scores on the Math portion of the SAT have remained fairly consistent over the past 40 years for men, their average Verbal scores have dropped about 30 points.
