I didn't like the campus all that much. South Bend - pass. |
We’re not talking about the city next door. We’re talking about the campus. Focus, people. |
Grow up. What axe to grind? My kid was admitted. We liked the school enough, but my kid chose another school in which he liked the campus a lot better as he found that campus "beautiful". Get over yourself. |
Methinks it’s your kid who needs to grow up. “It’s a gloomy day, boo hoo I don’t like the campus.” |
I think some just like bashing ND. I wouldn't pay much attention here. We all know that it is a gorgeous campus that almost always makes all the lists of most beautiful campuses.

Exactly. It’s just so odd. |
I think we can all be a little nuanced. No college is perfect. ND has a beautiful campus although it’s not the most beautiful. It is extremely well maintained and care goes into everything. Top notch facilities. Excellent education. Very smart kids. The main downside is the horrendous location. I was shocked driving through South Bend. The poverty was eye opening. The reason it matters is because there is nothing around, it’s an isolated location. |
Ha ha even AI agrees: Several colleges are consistently lauded for their beauty. Among the most frequently cited are Stanford University, Berry College, University of Notre Dame, and Princeton University. Other campuses frequently mentioned include those of the University of Virginia, University of Washington, Rice University, and Cornell University. |

And that makes it even more impressive. The fact students choose it despite its terrible location. They do great job creating a great on campus experience. Chicago is less than 2 hours away..yes a hike, but a nice day/weekend trip. ND is not for everyone, but for those who love it, they do with all their heart. |
Awwww....someone don't like your school. Poor baby. |
Yep |
lol c'mon. It wasn't just the campus. The engineering school was greatly lagging compared to his other choices. But, yes the campus was not for my kid. Whatever. Like I said, to each his or her own. |

Anti-ND mom. You have commented every chance about your kid hating ND because of the cold weather on so so many threads, and you just can't seem to let it go. In some weird way, maybe you wish your kid had gone there. Why would you keep clicking on ND threads when your kid is going somewhere else. Give it a rest lady. |
