[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are arguing just to argue. Not sure how nd came into the discussion, but schools like Georgetown and bc are outliers. The typical Jesuit school with 4-8k undergrads in a metro area hits a sweet spot for a lot of kids. Manageable size, urban locations, [b]usually have good facilities[/b], strong alumni networks in their metro area, strong school spirit, good merit aid. Schools like saint louis, Marquette, Fairfield, Santa Clara, etc punch above their weights.[/quote]

The bolded is where Georgetown can't compete. Very rundown campus. Government policy major and DC location is only plus. BC, on the other hand is pristine.[/quote]

Location, location, location. Facilities can be fixed (and GU is doing so), location can't be changed (BU and ND). So much of a student's experience extends beyond the campus. [/quote]

GU huge project is digging up the ground to replace some pipes for their heating system. The campus is too far gone to make any significant difference considering their financial condition. There are too may problems and space is an issue.

That said, I agree South Bend is not ideal and its proximity to a major airport is also a ding. We made it work with our kid, but it was taxing. Despite the inconvenience, it was so worth it for them.

As for BC, you can't deny its location near Boston is a big draw while still having a gorgeous sprawling campus with lots of green space. The best of both worlds.[/quote]
