"By state, Illinois accounts for the most incoming students (216), followed by California (159), Indiana (151), New York (145) and New Jersey (116). The only state without representation is Wyoming. New York ranks first among cities/regions with 237 students, followed by Chicago with 209 and Southern California with 116. Sixty-two students hail from the South Bend area.

Within the U.S., about a quarter of the class are from the Northeast; 19 percent are from the Central Midwest; 19 percent are from the Southwest and West; 15 percent are from the Midwest; and 14 percent are from the Southeast. Nine percent of students are international or U.S. students living outside of the country."

There's no way on earth that Georgetown has that kind of geographic diversity. Very few schools do.

You're a know nothing. Who's the mayor of South Bend again? What's his political party?

You gotta do better than this.

You sound like a teenager.


Well you can call South Bend a pit, but ND campus is gorgeous vs the pit GT is. And there are plenty of research opportunities at ND so no need to leave campus for an internship during the school year.

Hmm. Almost every one of my ND friends is a Democrat, many quite liberal Dems.

Georgetown physical facilities are abysmal. ND has some very nice new dorms and older ones with great traditions. South Bend is a bit rough though.


Are you looking for a country club or an education? Nice facilitates are fine but not the most important thing by far to me. Some college tours spend half the tour talking about the dorms and great food. Suit yourself but i would focus on which school is a better fit for my desired path of study.


How about a country club AND an education? For $70,000 a year you should get both, and ND offers both in spades. Georgetown doesn't. There's not a program of study beyond maybe Georgetown's School of Foreign Service where Georgetown is better than Notre Dame.


And Notre Dame now has the brand new Keough School of Global Affairs -- not as established as GT's program, but I imagine it will eventually surpass them.

As for comparing school facilities, I agree, it depends on fit and not all pretty campuses equal great education. However, Georgetown's facilities are so horrid from what I have seen/heard, that one should seriously consider whether or not it is worth the $70K+ a year. https://www.instagram.com/georgetown.hotmess/?hl=en



Actually, the Keough School is new, but is actually an expansion of the Kroc Peace Institute which has been around for decades: https://kroc.nd.edu

ND alums seem pretty well connected here in Chicago. When I lived in DC Georgetown’s alumni connection didn’t seem too strong in the private sector. Not sure how either are in NY.

And I would add that one of the newer dorms is currently being used as a temporary living quarters for students whose dorm is being completely gutted and renovated this year. I expect many more dorms will go through a similar renovation.

Again suit yourself. I would go with the educational fit as a priority.
