[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ND has a niche with midwestern Catholic HS grads. Most secular private school or public school grads aren't interested because of the overt religious overtones. Also, the location dims interest among a lot of people.[/quote]

Yes, the location is horrible. South Bend is depressing AF. [/quote]

Agree — I wouldn’t want to live there but the campus experience is amazing. Gorgeous campus and great residential life. [/quote]

I think it is all so very subjective.  My kid didn't like the campus so much. I think it was a combination of the cold windy weather in April when we were there and the dark old architecture.  Like I said, it would appeal to some and not to others. [/quote]

lol ok.  Ridiculous.  [/quote]

Not really.  Just because it was for you doesn't mean it's for everyone.  [/quote]

The kid can say he doesn’t like the weather, sure.  But that’s not the campus.  By that definition every college that gets a lot of snow has a shitty campus.

The architecture isn’t old.   Anyone who went to ND as recently as 20 years ago would barely recognize the campus today.  That’s how new it is.

You can throw a lot of shade at ND for a lot of reasons, but once you start saying it doesn’t have a beautiful campus it’s clear you have an axe to grind.  [/quote]

Grow up.  What axe to grind? My kid was admitted.  We liked the school enough, but my kid chose another school in which he liked the campus a lot better as he found that campus "beautiful".   Get over yourself.   [/quote]

Methinks it’s your kid who needs to grow up.  “It’s a gloomy day, boo hoo I don’t like the campus.”

[/quote]

lol c'mon. It wasn't just the campus.  The engineering school was greatly lagging compared to his other choices.  But, yes the campus was not for my kid.  Whatever.  Like I said, to each his or her own. [/quote]

Then why did he apply?   [/quote]
