Do Cornell, Dartmouth, WashU and UChicago alums ever go back to campus after graduating?

[Anonymous]

With lack of D1 sports and proximity to a major airport or isolated location, I assume visits back to campus are pretty infrequent? While UVA, UMD, Michigan, Duke, Notre Dame, GU and other Ivy alums have D1 sports and/or proximity to airports and major coastal cities, making visits more common?

The Notre Dame alumni I know go back there ALL THE TIME it seems, based on their Facebook posts.

I work with a few Dartmouth people and they are always there at least 1x per year - we work in Boston so it’s not that far.

I only went to grad school at Dartmouth and I love going back to Hanover. We are there every couple of years. Dartmouth is also very big on reunions.

I almost didn't include Dartmouth because I felt like I had heard similar from a Dartmouth alum I knew. Almost cultish in how they love their college and going back.

Graduated U Chicago in ‘95 and a grad program there in ‘99. Go back for all reunions, and in between to visit friends.

Why are you all returning so often? Seems a little strange...

Yes. In the Midwest, in Chicago, way down on the South Side of the city over an hour from the O'Hare. No D1 sports, not much to do around campus, bad weather, not a lot of Greek life. Most of their alums are on the coasts, so that's quite a hike and what is the draw to return?

Reminisce, sport ball game (see Notre Dame, Duke, Michigan), homecoming, alumni gatherings, show your kids around? Things like that.
