University of Notre Dame Top Questions

The cold weather brings a lot of snow and keeps you indoors.

The worst thing about Notre Dame are Parietals- the strictly-enforced rules banning students from opposite-sex dorms after 2:00 am. In general, the punishments for relatively small offenses such as underage drinking can be overly strict and are aimed to make the student feel extremely guilty. These policies do not hinder the social life/ drinking scene but are very inconvenient/ overly harsh. Other complaints include the weather (sometimes it feels like winter never ends) and the location.

The worst thing about Notre Dame is the people. It is not very diverse. The students are either really intelligent and keep to themselves, or are wealthy and snobby. Many students came with friends from home, so it is very clique-ish, and unwelcoming.

There is a lot of effort to prohibit alcohol, but the administration and faculty do not enforce it consistantly.
