Yes, the location is horrible. South Bend is depressing AF.
Agree — I wouldn’t want to live there but the campus experience is amazing. Gorgeous campus and great residential life.
I think it is all so very subjective. My kid didn't like the campus so much. I think it was a combination of the cold windy weather in April when we were there and the dark old architecture. Like I said, it would appeal to some and not to others.
lol ok. Ridiculous.
Not really. Just because it was for you doesn't mean it's for everyone.

Notre Dame cares more about hard numbers, especially test scores, than many other top schools. If you have those and are at a Catholic school, even better.
They have lower test scores than most other T25s

Not sure what you mean by dark and old. Many older buildings that are meticulously kept up as well as brand new buildings that blend with the old seamlessly. Yes, the weather is pretty rough...can't argue about that.

Nice aerial shot. However, walked the campus several times with my kid. That was his opinion. To each his own.

A T20 school is not a niche.
It actually is.
