[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over the last 10 years at my kids' Catholic preps I've seen the #1 and #2 seniors head to Notre Dame nearly every year. These overachiever kids don't want to go to Ivies, Stanford, or Duke, they don't even apply to other top universities. It's basically Notre Dame or bust. The school is honestly underrated on US News. Love that kids live on campus all 4 years.

The flaws: Location does suck. Quite literally the worst location, by far, of any university in the top 50. They give too much boost to (rich) legacies. Football players (and other recruited athletes) are idiots, which really calls into question all the so-called campus integrity. [b]They also accept transfers who don't deserve to be on campus. [/b]Also, stupid gals at neighboring St Mary's desperately throw themselves at ND boys and pretend they're ND students; it's like Northeastern students pretending they're Harvard Students. Super weird dynamic. And yes, I get St Mary's was a "sister school" back when ND was boys only, but that was over 50 years ago.[/quote]

Huh? How could you possibly know this?

[b]And the living on campus thing is weird and paternalistic[/b]. Yes I know it’s common at private colleges. [/quote]

It is also inaccurate. My niece and many of her classmates lived off campus junior and senior years and that was typical. 
Btw, that’s not what paternalistic means either.

They recently changed the rules so that you can't really take part in activities if you live off-campus as a junior and senior. [/quote]
