[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notre Dame.  Religious aspect of school attracts kind and non-competitive students.  That combined with the excellent academics, strong reputation, supportive alumni network, and gorgeous campus makes for a very happy student body.[/quote]

Yes, full of rich conservative racist bigots. [/quote]

Apparently you didn't know that Fr. Hesburgh, the former president, was one of the drivers of the civil rights movement along side MLK.  Educate yourself.  Maybe go see the new documentary being released next month.

So what?  He could be great and every faculty member there.  ND is not liberal, it is not diversity loving and it most certainly is not LGBTQ friendly.  It is a school for private catholic school kids to go to.  And it is in Indiana.  Have you been there?  Even the workers at McDonalds are milky white.   :lol: [/quote]

Sorry, but I would say you are the bigot.  And who cares that it is not liberal...the question posed was not about whether a school is liber or not.  There is a place for everyone, and I can tell you that the students at this school are VERY happy and well adjusted.  Try to find anything about suicides at ND...I guarantee it will be sparse.  And for an elite school, that is pretty impressive.  Google suicide and all the other top schools and there is all kinds of tragedy.  Sad.

I am from the Northeast and have visited ND, and frankly it is a breath of fresh air to be in the midwest where people are actually polite and kind.[/quote]

Interestingly, I believe that there is a lot of truth in this statement.  It makes one ponder on the benefits and unintended consequences of the elite colleges focus on maximum diversity on every possible dimension....gender, race, geography, SES, international, first gen, targeted EC......and those are jus the ones we know about.  It wouldn't surprise me at all to know that these colleges also target religious, sexual orientation or other dimensions of diversity through identifiable markers. [/quote]

Agree too.  I read an article with interviews from all the lower SES kids being accepted over the past 5 years.  It has been a mess.  Sure, they get full tuition and who wants to argue with that.  But they have work study that most rich kids there do not. It is very apparent who the under rich are and who the uber poor are.  There aren't many in-between at Ivy's.  They have no means of outside money coming to them.  No way to study abroad.  No way to pay for extracurriculars.  No way to spend a Saturday night socializing at restaurants, pubs, etc...  It was eye opening. When they can't afford to travel home during breaks, there is no dining hall open for them.  They go hungry.  The president talked about not doing enough for them and wanting to do more.  But this is a big issue. [/quote]
