Inside info on some campuses?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm uber-excited that I got accepted to some really awesome grad schools. Thusfar, I've been accepted to Georgetown, Duke, and UCLA (as well as GW, but they're stricken from my possibilities for other reasons). I have a few decisions that are still outstanding, but I thought I'd come over here to ask quickly if anybody has any experience with these three universities. Are they relatively accepting of non-NTs? How are their support services? Is there any real thing I should be worried about regarding the campus, staff, or student body?

I can't offer much info, but since no else has replied...as you've been accepted to these schools you may be more familiar with them than I am. The only thing I'll point out, which you may already know, is that the area around Duke can be dangerous. I've never been there myself, but I lived in North Carolina for 6 years and it wasn't a place people went unless they somehow had tickets to a basketball game. I have been to the Georgetown campus several times but I didn't really interact with the student body. However, it seems like a very nice place but known for being expensive and a bit too uppity for my tastes. I don't know anything about UCLA.

What are you going to study in grad school?
