New grad RN - UNC Rex or Duke?!

[Kkmars]

Hello! I'm graduating in December with my BSN and I have received offers to work in the ICU at both UNC Rex and Duke. I'm super indecisive because I know both will give me great opportunities! For the people who work at Duke or Rex Could anybody give me some input to help me with this decision? I know Rex is more family friendly, a lot of 30+ year olds who are married and have kids, and I'm younger and single so I don't know if I would fit in and make friends considering I have never lived in the triangle before and I won't have family around. I've heard Duke has a big reputation because they know their the best, so they don't always treat you so well. I'm up for the challenge so I won't let that deter me but I just know to keep my guard up. On the flip side, they will get all the challenging patients and with their hospital being huge I would meet more people my age. I'm having lots of questions about both of the places. Any suggestions and honesty would be appreciated!
