Duke vs UCLA Forum

[clarence84]

Duke with merit of $105,000 or UCLA with $120,000. National flexibility desired since not partial to a specific market.

Really comes down to Southern California versus the East Coast, in my opinion.

[lsdream]

Tough one - do you prefer East or West?

Then I'd definitely take Duke. A much better school for only around $15k more? Easy choice, imo.

This is relevant to my interests (looking at the same $$), but I have a strong SoCal preference for post-grad

[Tadatsune]

Duke. Easy.

yup.

I wouldn't be surprised if Duke has equal or better placement power than UCLA in LA, and Duke is far superior in other major markets. You're getting a pretty huge upgrade for $15k.

[clarence84]

Also have NYU and Berkeley at sticker but they are not being considered as that level of debt is untenable.

[Bosque]

Even if you wanted California for sure, I'd still think about taking Duke.
