[quote=Anonymous]The dorm life is great. One thing I loved about ND was dorms have students from all four grades. The first week, they held dorm info sessions related to majors. Dorm seniors spoke to freshman about guidance, classes to definitely take, great profs, scheduling strategies, etc. They immediately feel a part of a group without rush nonsense. Each dorm has a rector and we found the rector to be a great resource.

Religion is what you want it to be. Every dorm has Mass. no one has to go. A lot of kids like going to a Sunday night dorm Mass. it’s casual, quick, and kids felt it set them up for the week ahead. Also, some never went. Totally fine too.

The town concept is kind of irrelevant. Kids hardly ever went to downtown South Bend. Everything they wanted to do was within 5 mins including off-campus senior housing. Some would do a weekend (2 hr) trip to Chicago.

REA is so much better than ED. Allows you to keep other options open. I wish more schools did it.

Notre Dame won’t do anything unless they can do it right. That goes for academic departments, sports teams, etc. They were fully committed to having students on campus in fall 2020 when others didn’t and they worked hard to be able to offer the best campus experience they could. If they start a program, they will recruit top faculty.

Weather will be beautiful some days, cold and damp and gray a lot more.

The alumni network is crazy. You need anything, find the local alumni network and ask. Someone will know someone who will drop what they are doing to help.
