Lol I’m a fan of Notre Dame but UVA has the [b]highest graduation rate of any state school in the country[/b] and rivals the very best privates (including ND) in this department.  In many ways UVA is basically Notre Dame without religion.  [/quote]

If you think the two are in any way comparable, you have not seen both campuses. I wonder how much the UVA graduation rate is impacted by the multimillionaire parents who refuse to pay for their child to transfer to another school? At least with respect to these kids, the term “captivity rate” is more apt. [/quote]

Not sure where you are getting your facts.

4 year graduation rate:
Notre Dame 93% (highest in the country) 
UVA 89%

6 year graduation rate:
Notre Dame 97% (#3 in country tied with UC Berkeley and Yale) 
UVA 94%

Hey isn't UC Berkeley a public university?  I guess that theory goes out the window too (see bolded above).

And I agree, ND does have the most beautiful campus.
