Endowment shouldn't decide this lol. GU is rapidly growing theirs.

Georgetown is clearly a better school and doesn't have antiquated Dorm rules or a lackluster location like ND.

It’s in the same tier as Notre Dame, Boston College, and Holy Cross. Good Catholic schools with strong reputations among the non-Catholic community in the United States. Villanova would be a tier above all four schools given their basketball program and pipeline into the Vatican.

This is…a ridiculous take.

Exactly. Notre Dame is a tier above Georgetown. You’re comparing a school with an $18 billion endowment with one with less than $4 billion.

How can you not buy that argument when it's literally true...?
