Seriously? Nope. Big East all the way. Jesuit traditions.

+1

Georgetown & Boston College are the 2 Catholic schools my kid is applying to. Many relatives at both. East Coast people.

My impression was that Notre Dame was far more conservative than Georgetown. However, according to Niche, the reverse is true (assuming that Niche is accurate, which is unclear).

If SFS, GT.
ND for everything else.

No one’s considering ND in our circles. Georgetown on the other hand, has significant prestige. Maybe because we’re all foreign policy/law/medicine people.

Yes GT for SFS, ND for everything else.

Ridiculous. In our immediate circle of family and friends, one kid transferred from ND to GT this year. Another 4 kids are applying to GT. One kid is applying to both ND & GT (and 5 are applying to Boston College but not GT or ND).

Our experience too.

ND is “traditionally conservative”, but it’s a fixed point ideologically.

Politics and policies have moved so far right they have very little to do with traditional conservatives. Many obama policies were right of reaganomics. Our tax rates are lower. Things like work requirements back in the “welfare queen” debates are standard policies that nobody bats an eye about.

At the same time, campuses have moved very left.

All to say, ND is traditionally conservative and always has been. But I think a lot of people would these days find that it very middle of the road leaning progressive. IOW, welcoming to LGBT but no one is starting a discussion by naming their pronouns. I personally found ND pretty conservative when my brother was there and not at all when my daughter attended. But ND hasn’t changed as much as the world has.

This makes sense for IR types, which are plentiful in this area. ND has the better business program.

Wow.

Who do these people think they are. F these colleges report them to the government

OP, please could you share some of your own perceptions about the two? I would truly appreciate it. My large extended family is Catholic, and this is a discussion that will come up in the future. One of the kids went to Notre Dame. She was extremely conservative -- she listened to Tomi Lahren in high school, tended to slut-shame other girls, and greatly approved of single-sex dorms. However, she became much more tolerant at ND and now offers her pronouns on social media and participates in climate change rallies. She is still just as strongly Catholic but with a different flavor of Catholicism. We haven't had one at GT yet, and I'm curious about your observations. A couple of my relatives went to Santa Clara, and one went to College of the Holy Cross.

Oh boy.

There is a strong Jesuit tradition in our family which is why nobody went to Notre Dame.
