[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter was accepted but decided it wasnt a good fit. The dorms are single sex and they have weekly mass in the basement. Also the female tour guide went on and on about the privelege of being selected to wash the football helmets. Also the climate wasnt appealing. She went to a w school and had lots of diverse friends and i think it was a bit too catholic for her. We are casual c & ers. Great school if it is the right fit.[/quote]

That's so funny.  Back in the day, they didn't give tours and kids didn't have to way all these varying impressions.  I was there in the late 70's, early 80s and my girlfriends and I would have been appalled that some girl thought it was an honor to wash football helmets.   I must say though that I've seldom attended more personally meaningful masses as the ones I went to on the first floor of my dorm.  To reduce that to a sound bite really doesn't do justice to the experience.

I get the part about diversity.  I know a friends son coming from this area, was really surprised at how homogenous the student body seemed after NOVA.  That said, he loved it.   I think it depends on what kind of person you are.  My friends today are incredibly diverse, but that has a lot to do with having lived on 3 continents.  I still wouldn't trade my four years at ND for anything.  [/quote]
