In and out of the classroom, you are guaranteed to learn...A LOT. From going to conferences and listening to lectures by distinguished professors at many different universities to the actual learning in the classroom (and the fabulous & intelligent professors), you will realize how much you truly don't know about the world and how much you truly *will* learn here at Notre Dame. And this is coming from someone who graduated within the top 2% of her high school class of 720 and got top AP, SAT and ACT scores.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I couldn't find a better fit, or a university with kinder and more passionate people. Intelligent, kind, compassionate and passionate are only a few qualities of the students and professors you will encounter here.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Considering the about $50,000/year price tag (and the low financial aid for anyone who has parents who make over $100,000 annually), I can't make myself giving five out of five stars here.
HOWEVER, when you graduate you are practically *guaranteed* great connections from the ND family that will get you where you want, whether it's a job, graduate school, volunteering, or nearly anything else you want to do with your life.
So in the end, I think the big bucks you pay for the university are worth it...
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
APPLY EARLY--I applied early action and it was great to know in *December* that I had gotten in. Waiting until March or April is not fun, as I learned with other college applications.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Very intelligent, passionate, compassionate, caring, and curious students. Being Catholic doesn't hurt, considering the school's Catholic values and reputation effuses through everything at Notre Dame.
