大家觉得Duke和Michigan哪个好

turbo2008

I personally think that both Michigan and Duke have great MBA programs; however, in the U.S. the Duke brand is stronger than Michigan's and in China Duke has done a great marketing job. Overall, (if I must chose) I will go with Duke over Michigan.

Additional benefits for attending Duke: The WEATHER. I have applied to Chicago Booth; however, one thing that really bothers me is the super cold weather of Chicago (I absolutely love Booth that's why I am willing to accept the fact that the weather sucks in Chicago). The weather in Durham, NC (where Duke is located) is great. I have visited the Duke campus and it is absolutely beautiful. It would be great to spend two years of your life in an environment like that.

我也插嘴问一个。。。。Duke和Cornell的校园环境是不是差不多漂亮吖？气候因素除外。。。。

Cornell also has a beautiful campus. I went to Ithaca, NY in August a few years ago and it was the best place to spend the summer. HOWEVER, if you attend Cornell you will never be there to enjoy the cool summer weather. AND, according to my friends in Cornell, the winter is miserable and you would not dare to walk a lot outside to “enjoy” the beautiful campus.

Let me clarify myself … I would never choose a school based on the weather … hehe
However, if I perceive two schools as identical in terms of faculty, job placement, scholarships, strength of alumni network in specific countries etc. (key factors), I would also look into other sub-factors that might differentiate the schools.

Agree. Thanks for your insights

有道理~ 暑假通常都去实习，而一般开始时纽约的夏天都接近尾声了。。。。

现在没必要纠结这个问题啦，如果Duke和Michigan的Offer都拿到了，再来想吧

Its important to some applicants who are deciding whether to apply to Duke or Michigan.

同意turbo2008的观点，申请一所学校肯定是个serious decision, 否则白花申请费不说，essay中也难以体现出对学校的热情。感谢大家的发言。我没在insead, 只是去了campus visit. 那里欧洲人多些，就业咨询偏多，而且明确问了iBT底线是105

Duke虽然冬天暖活一些，但是夏天应该很热吧。。。？
