Notre Dame has by far the higher endowment, which translates into extra goodies for students. I would choose GU, given the choice, but endowment is something to consider.

more about tiers similar to Nescac discussions (Tier 1 - Amherst/ Williams, Tier 2 - Middlebury/Bowdoin/Wes, etc etc)

Tier 1 - ND / GT
Tier 2 - BC / Villanova
Tier 3 - Fordham/Loyola/Fairfield

BC has higher stats than Villanova, for what that's worse.

ND/GT ranked in the 20s, BC in the 30s, Villanova in the 50s.

I’m in favor of these big revenue-generating sports. They’re fun, they bring a campus together, it’s a fun thing for kids to do.

I dislike squash and fencing and those sports. But college football/bball? FUN!

Just wait. The new GU bball hire is a good one.

Holy Cross goes in Tier 2.
Can add Providence College to Tier 3.

OP has your daughter visited ND? If so, she will find it to be a much more vast and beautiful campus with lots of green space, a lake, the grotto, gorgeous architecture, well maintained newish residence halls, and great football.

Georgetown, on the other hand, is a tired, neglected campus.

She should look at both.

They are both great schools. Period.

can you ever stop talking and posting photos of the grotto? We really don't care. A lot of people don't pick a school based upon architecture or grottoes

Georgetown has a better (healthier) social life. Georgetown dating culture is also much better than ND. Everyone seems to be looking for a future spouse at ND from sophomore year on and students seem to feel the pressure of that.

She didn't because ND has NEA, not EA

I agree ND has less of a hookup culture and more of a dating culture. But is that a bad thing now? Dartmouth grads more likely to get married to each other than any other t50 school,

If you want a Catholic school, Notre Dame is much more Catholic than Georgetown.

Georgetown is basically "catholic"
