[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you might want to go to College Confidential web site and post this question there. Some on DCUM  like to slam CC, but I find it is generally a mellower and more helpful board than this one. You could direct your question at both parents and students and ask for parents of students currently at these colleges to post (or to message you privately). The replies will be anecdotal but that seems as valid as some of the "I hated ND because of sports" kinds of answers here, and more personal and "on the ground" than lists of statistics. I like CC because you can get some input from current students, recent grads and parents of students.

I'd bet that your topic has already been posted there in the past, too, so you might find some input by searching past threads on CC.[/quote]

I actually think there was some helpful information here, with the exception of the lone Georgetown booster.

Notre Dame:  Most prestigious, highest ranked, [b]most Catholic,[/b] biggest endowment, highly selective, most beautiful campus, the best football, not ideal location.

Georgetown:  Also prestigious, highly ranked (but lower than ND), good location but cramped campus, most diverse, highly selective, less Catholic (because of the diversity?)

Boston College:  A step down from ND, but very solid school.  Not as diverse as Georgetown but strong in the Jesuit traditions.  Great location with a beautiful campus right outside of Boston.

Villanova:  Lowest ranked of the four but still solid.  Not as selective, but very popular due to many basketball championship wins.  Nice location outside of Philly.  Strong learning center for those with disabilities.  Lots of new construction with brand new dorms being built -- ready next year.[/quote]

Not sure if OP cares but ND is not "most Catholic."  It has tried over the last few years to correct that issue but it is still a challenge for them since they are the most well known Catholic University.  That ship has sailed on Georgetown (and sailing on BC).  It is less Catholic because Catholics are opting for other schools like ND and Villanova.[/quote]
