no. UT wouldn't be on the list if it weren't for McCombs school of business. if that school was the entire college at UT, UT would be #1 on the list.
Philosophy master's degree. Kind of the opposite of CSOM.Mii said:
Nonetheless, somewhat contradictorily I know, I'm applying to the JD/MBA program in the fall at BC since my girlfriend is staying in the Boston area, and I'm probably not getting into Harvard Law School. I've heard "better" things about BC's law school and graduate business school -- at least compared with its undergrad. Overall, my complaint with BC is that I met very few genuine, honest, intelligent, fun people. I'm sure you can say that about a lot of colleges, but I felt something strange about the place. What about yourself?

I've heard great things regarding the law school. I know people don't think much of CSOM's MBA programs. I actually need to look further into CSOMs other masters offerings though considering my time is almost up.
SD-Ness said:
I can definitely agree on a lack of genuineness and honesty among the students. Within CSOM at least, I always feel as if students have ulterior motives driving their actions. I've never been quite sure if thats specifically a CSOM thing or not. I do think I've encountered a number of intelligent students in my time here, but I've met just as many who simply did not know what they were talking about. I think that will be the case at every school though.
I do see BC having a bit of all the characteristics described within the article. Apparently, we line up with Duke very nicely. On a sidenote, my coworker (she and I were interns) was from Duke. Between the two of us, I would claim she was the douchier, FWIW.

Haha yeah, Pearl is the only place that I've found bums looking for a $20 min when asking for donations
Dont get me wrong, Boulder is a great college town, loads of bars and great food, close to the mountains and tons of sweet outdoors type stuff literally a few blocks from campus, but it has a premium, and sadly, 99% of the people who go there don't appreciate it at all, despite their parents checkbooks paying for it.

This list is groundbreaking. I've never seen a list that most of gaf agrees with so much.

Fuck all you hoes.
but I agree with the list; hell I think UVA should be higher maybe lol. This is arguably a perfect list. Goddamn.
I don't think you guys truly understand what Duke is. You may think this is a joke, but Tucker Max is the best example of a typical male, Duke student.
The females are actually the most sane, grounded females on the planet. One of the most common attributes to female Duke students, are their non-Duke boyfriends.
I dated my ex two years before she went there, and two years after. It changes people more than I care to describe with my "limited knowledge of the english language."
I think it all stems from the fact that the students all act like they're the shit; because, they are told that everyday. I wish I had kept some of the freshmen orientation material I read. I learned within the first two weeks to only wear Duke labeled clothing to avoid outright bullying after people start drinking.
They have their own private campus security (like most colleges) that is solely used for shuttling drunk people around the city. When an issue arises, Durham city police hand the students over to the university, who then does nothing but give them a ride home.
Part of the tuition goes to hiring bartenders to work the student events, who are required to scan Duke IDs and knowingly serve alcohol to underage students.
The basketball players are exactly the same way as they act on tv. I've seen a few ACC players on their respective campuses and I can say that humility is not Duke's forte.

But they all look worse than the cheerleaders, and that's saying a lot.

So much of the above post is not true. It's not worth tackling all of it since most people already blindly hate Duke and wouldn't change their opinions no matter what they hear, but I'll take a stab at a few.
*Disclaimer* I'm a senior at Duke, and yes there are a lot of really, really douchey kids here. I agree with the list and also think it's hilarious.
If by "typical male, Duke student" you mean a typical guy in one of the top 3-4 frats then you're correct. That group represents maybe 10% (and that's pushing it) of the male student body. Just because that's the visible group in the "social scene" doesn't mean it represents an average male at Duke.
100% correct, fortunately on the former and unfortunately on the latter.
Durham police cites students all the time. If you're off campus, you deal with Durham PD. It's as simple as that. If you're on campus, you're pretty safe. Duke's alcohol policy is to not try to crack down and punish students for underage drinking that will go on anyway, which in the process would drive students to binge drink in private rather than in a public, controlled setting. Is that very different than the policies of other universities (serious question)?
The second part is completely false. Our Duke IDs have our ages stored within them, and often times we're asked for a real ID as well to verify that we're actually using our own student IDs and not someone else's. Also, bartenders are only hired for official university events (Homecoming, galas, etc). "Frat" parties are completley run by students and none of the tuition goes towards those.
I've probably said enough considering what the reaction to this is going to be no matter I say. Don't bother posting "haha fuck dook", I'm not going to bother responding.
