Our kids are double legacies. Two applied, one got in and didn't go after concluding it didn't make sense economically given other options. Would have liked it there, but no regrets.
South Bend is a dump but ND is on the outskirts of town and most students stick to or very close to a beautiful campus so it doesn't seem to matter. Dorm assignments take the place of greek life. The large majority of students were high school athletes and leaders. The large majority were raised Catholic and many attended Catholic schools, but they're not all super religious by a long shot. It's not accurate to say the school is conservative -- Obama, Clinton and Biden all won mock elections handily -- but there are more conservatives on campus than most top 25 schools. Many but not all students come from wealthy and UMC white families, but the school has an Ivy League sized endowment (nearly 10 times larger than Georgetown's) and is generous with financial aid. Students work hard and play hard. Football is king.

I got in. It was my second choice, but I went to the Naval Academy.

A prestigious Catholic school in one of the most depressing and soul sucking areas of the country.

It has a 9% admit rate, so hardly anyone can get in.

As of the last few years it seems anyone can get in to ND. It’s sad. I always looked up to it as one of those truly hard to reach and exclusive school. Now it seems anyone can get in

Some students arrive via family jet. Many are captains of high school sports teams. The school is most known for its football team.

Seems to be more Catholic than GTown. Closer to CUA on that spectrum.
