Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Biology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Let me put it this way: I have a younger sister who is applying to colleges and I would NEVER let her go here. Basically there are three groups of people here: (1) People who are legacies and have been "brainwashed" into loving Notre Dame no matter what, (2) Non-legacies who hate Notre Dame, and (3) People who don't care. The vast majority of the people who go here fall into the last two categories. Almost everyone here is white, Catholic, and from the Midwest, so if you don't fit into all of those groups than you are going to have a hard time fitting in. Social life here is non-existant and it is absolutely horrible. If you don't make a really great friend or group of friends freshman year than your next three years here are going to be painfully slow. Contrary to what a lot of the die-hard legacies will tell you, most people here do not have meaningful friendships. To be honest with you, I have not met one person here who I can see myself being life long friends with. It is really hard to meet people here, as most people end up becoming friends with people who they are randomly placed in the same dorm with. Forget about having friends of the opposite sex--actually forget about interacting with the opposite much at all. Drunken makeouts at freshman dorm parties will pretty much be the extent of the interaction with members of the opposite sex that you will have here throughout your four years. To sum it up, unless you are the type of person who can convince yourself that you like anything or you are a legacy who has always dreamed of coming here, I would stay away from Notre Dame. The vast majority of the people I know here either do not like ND or are apathetic. If you can get in here, then you can get into another good school with better social life.

Otherwise, everything you say and do will be scrutinized. I'm in my second year here and absolutely hate it. The university doesn't care about its students at all. Everyone is extremely narrow minded. The social life is also weak. All people ever do is drink. I feel that I am a pretty friendly and approachable person, yet I don't have a single worthwhile relationship with anyone on campus. I find myself wishing I had decided to go to school with a lesser caliber of academics to be around normal people. I'm transferring next semester.

The school is quite homogenous in thought, and I found many people to be ignorant and intolerant of both individuals who chose to date interracially and individuals who were gay or lesbian. I also found that such ignorance and intolerance bled into the classroom, compromising my learning experience. The surrounding town is also quite a disappointment, although I knew that going into it because I thought it would be worth it. I don't live with regrets, but my experience at Notre Dame helped me realize what qualities my future graduate school will NOT have. You live and you learn, and I chose to stay at ND rather than transfer, so I did that to myself. Again, no regrets, but I learned my lesson.

First the good; people are friendly as hell, want to be your friend, academics are great, professors are great, if you follow your interests you will not be dissapointed. Having said that, I do not like ND at all. The people, for the most part, are closeminded innocent dorks, who are just starting to have fun. There are partiers here, but it is definitely a minority. I have applied to transfer to schools with more openminded students who are actually normal. If you want to graduate with the big degree, this is the place, and if you fit the mold, chances are that you will love this place. But if you are not part of that mold (as myself), good luck. Some of the most miserable times in my life have been here. So to sum up, Notre Dame is excellent for those who are made for this place, but if you are not, then DO NOT COME HERE.
