Duke gets to hang out with the cool kids, according to a recently released college popularity ranking.

Duke comes in 13 on the list, which is based on the number of hits a college’s Web site gets.  Duke’s popularity means it gets to sit next to the U.K.’s University of Cambridge (12) and China’s Fundan University (14) at lunch.

The coolest kid in class: Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The ranking was created by 4 International Colleges & Universities, which calls itself “an international higher-education search engine.”

For what it’s worth, Duke is way more popular than UNC, which at 70, will be hanging out with Kungliga Tekniska högskolan of Sweden.
