University of Notre Dame Top Questions

The students here are very accepting of everyone regardless of their religious background. A common misconception is that if you're not Catholic then you will feel excluded. True, the numerous mass services and statues of religious figures can feel overwhelming, but no one is forced into any ideology. Students are also very accepting other students who struggle. Everyone here is so helpful and they will help anyone the best that they can. I feel very included here despite the fact that the majority of the student body is white. Overall, the best thing is that people are very accepting.

The best thing about Notre Dame is the people. The alumni network is phenomenal and the staff and students there are genuinely interested in your success. I have truly made some lifelong friends during my time at the University of Notre Dame and for that reason, if nothing else, I am forever grateful that I had the opportunity to go there.

What I really thing sets Notre Dame apart is the dorm life. We don't have sororities or frats but because the dorms are single sex, they are basically sororities with no hazing and no exclusivity or clique-iness. We all think our dorms are the best and we have big competitions and rivalries, as well as dances, charity events, and all kinds of fun stuff! 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students live in the dorms and 98{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students stay in their same dorm all three or four years that they are on campus. We are our own little community and I love the girls in my dorm more than anything! Notre Dame is one big family, and your dorm-mates are like your sisters (or brothers). I also do love the school spirit. I love that everyone is grateful to be here and loves it here and really believes in what this place is all about. That doesn't happen at every school (I'm from a college town and it definitely isnt like that at Mizzou!). No one is stuck-up or snotty. We are all hard workers, but we know how to enjoy life, give back, and laugh at ourselves. I love the people here more than I can possibly express!

THe sense of community and friendliness that everyone seems to have.

The life-long relationships developed at Notre Dame distinguish the University because they exemplify the defining aspects of the school. The Catholicism manifests itself in many ways, but one of the most striking is the development of faith life in the students as they form life-long relationships with God. The emphasis on learning primes the students to probe life's greatest questions and share perspectives with one another as they develop life-long relationships with each other. And so these two priorities of the school, faith and learning, truly set Notre Dame apart.
