The professors know and fully understand you are not there to become a slave towards textbooks, they realize each individual has passions outside of academia. With that in mind, the professors do a great job challenging each individual, not by overwhelming them with work, but by giving them opportunities to succeed. I found that the level of compassion the professors embody has helped me tremendously in learning not to be a great student, but a successful individual.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
As a transfer student, I have a different perspective than most of the student body. Sometimes, people don't appreciate the smaller benefits of being at Notre Dame. Most people come for religion, football, and things like that. I find small things that I love about my school every single day, but the single greatest thing I love is the fact that every single individual loves being at ND. Even the school food service workers love interacting with students, and everyone glows with school pride all day, every day. Never in my life have I felt so welcome anywhere.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The financial aid is very helpful (but is limited). Other than that, hell yes this place is worth the money.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Work hard, know exactly why you want to come here (besides the cliche reasons of football and etc). And if you don't get in, apply to transfer! :)
