Duke University

Gorgeous campus with beautiful Southern weather. Pretty preppy in terms of style, with a handful of alternative/theatrical types. Named #2 douchiest school by GQ magazine in 2009. Not an entirely unrealistic assessment of this school full of frat star and wannabe frat star boys (who aren't as smooth or desirable as they think they are), insecure brainy women who are obsessed with the elliptical machines, and asians who stay in the library till 4 am doing orgo. So many asians. You either hang out with all asians, or you do your own thing with people of all races and avoid the cultural bubble on campus. Same with blacks--you're either with the BSA crowd and go to black parties, or you're on your own in the social scene. Greek life is a big deal until you're a sophomore, and then no one cares after that. Guys and girls don't date often here; the get-schwasted-and-hook-up culture is prevalent. Everyone goes to Myrtle for the end of the year trip. You go to tailgate if you're an alcoholic in the making, and you tent if you're a basketball fanatic/engineer/not in a frat. Everyone starts out premed, then a good handful switch into humanities courses to get straight As. We like to party, then study, then party some more and do it all over again. Pounding beers until you pass out, then waking up the next morning at 8 am to hit the gym and write a term paper is pretty typical for a Dukie.
