Great school

and I also did do some research on IT/SW jobs for wifey there and it seems like an active area. If I may ask- any reason you dropped Tuck?
A few things, we live in a similar area (small new england city) and are looking for a change basically. We love the area but its so isolated, almost 3 hours from boston...its far more off the beaten path than where we live now.
During my tour it just seemed a lot like an undergrad feeling in a lot of ways. Sure that creates a tight knit community but I really didnt like that 80% of single 1st years living in a dorm attached to the main building. The people were great and talented but some of the stuff they were saying just struck me as the total opposite of what I am looking for.
The real deciding factor, was that its a near impossible job market for anyone who works in anything high tech related. So my wife would have a hard time finding a job that pays what she deserves and its unfair for me to ruin her career so I can further mine. Thats a huge appeal for Duke, it has a great job market for her in the immediate area.
