...And our hearts forever love thee Notre Dame! The one thing that separates Notre Dame from other schools is that we all are obsessed with our school, as are all of our alumni which makes getting a job pretty easy. My dad went here and brainwashed me into thinking ND was the best school ever. I struggled to do well enough in high school to get in, which was rough at times. Part of me thought it would be impossible for the school to live up to my expectations, but it far exceeded them. I can't think of anything that I love more than this...

Notre Dame's administration don't consider the students wishes enough and should listen more to what we have to say and spend money on important things rather than renovating the campus constantly.

Best Thing About Notre Dame: Everyone here is amazingly brilliant, kind, hard-working, active, and excels at something. One Thing I'd Change: Location, location, location (we have two Winter Semesters) School Size Is: Just Right (8,000 Undergrads) People React to Notre Dame: With, "Wow, congrats! I wanted to go there..." I Spend My Time: Outside my dorm room; there's tons to do on campus! College Town: "What College Town?" South Bend has some great eating places, the College...

The best thing about Note Dame would have to be the atmosphere. It's just the feeling you get once you get on the campus. It is probably one of the defining factors that made me choose to come here. It made me feel at home when I came to visit and not it truely is my home. The one thing that I would change would be the number of African-Americans that attend the school. The black presence at Notre Dame is almost non-existent and I feel more needs to be done to cater to the needs of...

The people at ND are awesome, they have their heads on straight but still know how to have fun. I think it's the right size, because you can still meet new people senior year. Most people freak out when I tell them i'm a ND grad. it's looked upon very highly. "What college town?" Tons of school pride.

Notre Dame has a really great atmosphere to it. It's a great size - about 8,000 undergrads. It's a very friendly atmosphere. If you're religious, either Catholic or not, you'll find a great college to express that. South Bend frankly sucks, but there's not much of a need to go off campus a whole lot. The campus itself is absolutely beautiful. Northern Indiana winters are awful, so if you're from the South, that may come as a shock. Sports here are really fun, as you might expect. Everyone gets...

Notre Dame is a highly competative school with some of the happiest students I've have ever met. Every student who attends this school loves it which is shown in the high alumnae involvement. Students of the past and present care about this middle sized (10,000 student) school and are always looking to make it better. It definately has a work hard play hard mentality, but every student is extremely dedicated to making academics a priority.

I love the sense of community at this school. Everyone is so genuine, friendly and polite. Also, the large role that faith plays is very appealing. Complaints usually include dislike of parietals and strictness of rules.

The best thing is that there is such a tight knit community fostered by the dorms. I would change the university's stance on how they treat homosexuals. The size is SO PERFECT! you can walk around and see tons of people you know but you are also meeting new people every day. It is pretty funny to see people's reactions to Notre Dame, some people love it and respect it and are very impressed that I go there while other people think of it as a conservative catholic football snob school. but there...

The best thing about Notre Dame is the community. You have a feeling of being welcome immediately upon stepping on campus. Wherever you go, if you find Notre Dame alumni, they will buy dinner for you, assist you in finding a job, or even just ask you to watch the ND football game with them.
