Three of my brothers graduated from Notre Dame in the 1970s and our oldest daughter in the late 1990s.  All would say that the Notre Dame provided a wonderful, spirited campus life that has continued through continuing close contact with their Notre Dame friends over the years.  There is a very strong Notre Dame "family tradition" which I have seen in action over the years.  And also a strong alumnae network which can help in future job endeavors.   One aspect to consider is the very harsh. long winters and weather the isolation which one can feel there is what your DS would want.  Dorm life was in many respects a center of the social life as well as their sports.  The facilities  are wonderful. 
Given the price tag of most colleges today, you will want him to visit to be sure.  I will tell you that "Junior Parents" weekend is one very special time.  Academics are very strong at ND and the impact of social justice is very much alive and good for college students to experience.   I would not disregard the impact of the conservative outlook at ND, but then a counter-balance would be the wide swing on liberalism and other crap on other college campuses that a college freshman might have to balance if not on that wave length.
Sending a daughter off to college to a single sex dorm with SYR - [b]"Screw Your Roommate" [/b]dances was certainly a lot more preferable to the one night stands and "hook-up" mentality of so many colleges today.
