[quote=Anonymous]Ah another Notre Dame thread. And it’s going as expected.

Is ND objectively a good school? Yep. Is it the best school for every kid? No, of course not, and I’d argue it’s more of a niche school than most other “top” schools, however you choose to define that grouping. South Bend is not a great college town so most of the action is on campus. It’s a pretty campus, granted, and if you are interested in athletics and that type of college culture (which lots of kids are not) there’s plenty of that. But the school is geographically isolated AND attracts an above average percentage of Catholic HS grads, plus the school is a bit more intense about Catholicism than many other Jesuit colleges. All of which means that if you don’t fit a certain profile, it’s probably not the school for you. Which is fine.

Whenever I see these threads, the thing I always think is, “This is what happens when people spend 4 years in a fairly isolated environment being told it’s the best place on earth.” ND grads are smart and capable and get a great education. They also tend to be a bit sheltered, lacking in perspective, and have a hard time accepting even valid criticism of their alma mater. Make of that what you will.[/quote]
