[quote=Anonymous]ND is higher ranked the Georgetown, with an endowment over twelve times larger. By *objective* measures, ND would have an edge. However, there are some things to think about:
- South Bend vs. DC — drastically different places
- ND is more Catholic than Georgetown...parietals, etc. For some people this is a positive, others a negative.
- dorm life is HUGE at ND with your dorm kind of functioning like a sorority or fraternity. 
- does your kid want to go to school close to home or far? 
- what is prospective major? For anything DC-centric (poli sci, IR etc.) Georgetown’s location would be appealing
- does your kid like sports? Football is a really really big deal at Notre Dame. Obviously not so much at Georgetown.
- Notre Dame is working on it, but for all intents and purposes it’s very homogenous and a bit of a bubble. Not that Georgetown is insanely diverse either, but definitely more than ND in that respect
- Georgetown is much more progressive than ND, which is pretty conservative in feel (of course, you can still find pockets of liberalism at ND and conservatism at Georgetown...but overall they are different) [/quote]
