[quote=Anonymous]My son considered a few top Catholic schools...he really wanted to stay in that environment coming out of his Jesuit HS.

He looked at ND, BC, GT and others.  He applied to ND BC and some safeties.  Ended up at ND.

Did not like Georgetown AT ALL.  Campus was cramped and tired.  No green space to speak of.  Also was ready to be FAR away from home.

He just graduated from ND and is still going back to campus for football games...is there this weekend for the big game against Ohio State.  He has made some lifelong friends, a few of which have moved to DC for jobs.

From my perspective, ND seemed to be a really happy, positive place with friendly people (students, parents, staff).  The campus is pristine.  Residential life is really special where your dorm becomes your home and you bond with the people and it's culture/traditions.  Each dorm has a chapel and students can attend mass at their dorm or their friends' dorms.  My son was there for four years and I don't think he ever attended mass at the basilica except the times we were there to visit.  He really enjoyed mass with his friends in the casual environment of the chapels.

Football weekends are absolutely electric.  I would recommend he visit campus on a football weekend to get a sense of the vibe.  Arrive on a Friday to see normal campus life and stay for the Saturday game day.

Good luck![/quote]
