The amount you learn at Notre Dame depends on you. As a first year student, there may be a couple of classes that have 200 people in them. If you go to lecture, take notes, and keep up with your reading, then you'll learn a lot. If not, then you're SOL. There's also those really small, intimate classes that you'll build close relationships with your professors and classmates in. Notre Dame is an academically prestigious school, so nothing comes easily.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
At Notre Dame, they basically force you to make friends the first week you're here. You'll find out what I mean when you attend Frosh-o. There's never a bored moment on campus, EVER. There's always something to distract you from studying. The party scene is very unique here. It depends on what you like. People throw dorm parties all the time in the guys dorms, which are basically drinking Keystone Light and squeezing 40 people in a little tiny room with the token Party Playlist for people to dance to. It can be pretty entertaining. There's also a nightclub type thing on campus called Legends, and it has a different theme every night (Friday/Saturday), like 90's night, hip-hop, old school, etc. Basically, if you're bored, just walk around North or South quad and follow the music. You'll be alright.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You'll get a great education, make lifelong friends, create amazing experiences, and grow in every way possible. Mind, body, soul is the motto.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take a heavy course load senior year. You jump right into work on the first day. Join a lot of clubs. It'll help you learn how to manage time.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Student who are hard-working, but like to have a good time. There's lots of tradition here so you gotta love that too. Don't mind being in a small town. South Bend sucks, sorry, but campus is very lively.
