Duke University is a place where those who write positive descriptions of the school on this website can write in intelligible english, while those who bash the school can't spell jersey, university, extremely, their, although, may, etc, and obviously attend either UNC or NC State or have taken a more respectable path in life, choosing to work at McDonald's. Duke University is the best school anywhere outside of Princeton, NJ, and Cambridge, MA, hands down.
If you go to Duke University, you probably wanted to go to Harvard and didn't get in. You also probably got into UPenn and chose Duke instead.

The most overrated basketball school since their championship in 2001. Most recently, last year, heading into a game with Maryland, both teams had the same record, similar Strength of schedule, same conference record. The only difference was, Maryland had beaten Duke earlier in the year, BUT, Duke was ranked 14 and Maryland was unranked. Of course, Maryland dominated as they have done in most all of the head to head games since 2001. I have never met a heterosexual male Duke fan, but how can you blame them, if I went to Duke I'd probably end up with a guy too considering the quality of women attending the school.
Maryland fan-Hey did you watch the game the other night?
Duke University fan- No, I was too busy having gay sex. Who won?
Maryland fan- The team with the better head coach, Gary Williams.

An institution of learning which touts itself as being one of the best universities in the country. Also famed for its importunate insulting of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which, despite being a public institution that doesn't charge a small fortune in tuition and does not include a minumum of 4 legacy connections as a requirement for admission, maintains a similarly high academic caliber. Employer of Mike Krzyzewski, possibly the spawn of Satan and facilitator of the massacre of his team on their beloved J.J. Redick's senior night, where a primarily first-year UNC roster schooled the player who Duke likes to think is God's gift to basketball. Redick, in true champion style, proceeded to cry like the Dookie that he is, because when a Duke student doesn't get what they want, they only need cry about it and either Mommy, Daddy, or their frat brother will come save them.
