Alumnus
Best decision I ever made. Extraordinary undergraduate engagement through inspired teaching and mentoring. Lifelong friendships with faculty and peers. A commitment to reasoned discourse. Study abroad encouraged and facilitated even if pre med. Gorgeous campus. Inclusive residential life. Brilliant yet helpful classmates from every state and over 100 countries. I still regularly talk to my roommates 34 years later. Unparalleled sports with far reaching esprit de corps. As an undergraduate English Philosophy Pre Med Major whose now a Pediatric Psychiatrist, I would love to do it all again. When I occasionally go back to campus I love perusing the bookstore stacks to see what kids are reading these days in the disciplines. I remain grateful they have not abandoned their mission to form young people to be a force for good in the world. When I talk to current students, they give me hope.

Good Education, Great Tradition, Nice Campus, Difficult Classes, Expensive, Competitive Students, Isolated Area and Cold Weather..

Great Alumni network!

Needs more diversity. No college town "vibe". If interested in Greek system, don't ignore ND. The entire campus is Greek-like through the dorms. One of the best school spirit schools out there. We've had experience with 6 schools through parents and kids.
