Holy Cross clown, your desperation is embarrassing.

It’s about half in Boston & about half in Newton, in a neighborhood that is partly in Newton, partly in Boston, & partly in Brookline.

You forgot Fordham, Santa Clara, Gonzaga, LMU, and a whole host of other great schools. These are “academically well respected” despite what you think.

Georgetown is oldest Catholic school in US founded 1789. ND 1842 and Holy Cross 1843. All three have been the go to schools for generations. GU will always remain Catholic just in a different way from Notre Dame.

Georgetown should be shown the door and lose its catholic accredidation. Yes ND is more conservative than HC and BC - all three are still good schools for the right "fit".

You’d be wrong. By the 1970 there were very few commuters.

Why blabbering about Notre Dame? This is about Jesuit schools.
