The kind of person that should attend ND should expect that they will not fit in if only there to have fun and abuse substances. This kind of person should invite academic and other challenges.

This school is very homogenous. 85{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students came from Catholic High schools. and the vast majority of students are white and middle or upper class. Attending Notre Dame is easiest for someone who fits this profile. That is not to say that no one else should attend Notre Dame, in fact I would encourage people who don't fit this profile to attend, because that is how the University will be able to change. Members of the LGBT community should weigh all their options; Notre Dame is becoming more accepting of them, but it is a very slow process.
