Is choosing Duke over UMich Ross worth the Extra 13k Per year?

Currently choosing between these two schools. Having a tough time deciding where I want to go. Could someone help me out here, please?

Really just wondering if going to Duke can make up the 52k extra that I'd be paying over going to ross.

If money's not a concern, I think Duke would definitely be a fun experience if you want the private school vibe/like the culture. As someone who goes to a top public, I think there's something to be said about schools like Duke that have a small campus and strong culture. For purely banking reasons, probably not, but like overall school reputation (if u decide to pursue somethign else like consulting or tech) and just school experience from academic perspective will be better at Duke
