I am planning on majoring in accounting/finance and need some help. I’m down to Creighton and Notre Dame. Money isn’t really the issue, it’s the right fit. I have heard multiple opinions, saying big fish is better to the Notre Dame education cannot be passed up.
My main concern is the opportunities at Notre Dame. I won’t be as stand-out-ish, and that could potentially affect leadership roles. Is this ignorant or a valid point?
I don’t want to make the wrong decision, especially choosing Notre Dame just for the name.
You can CHOOSE to be a leader in lots or organizations (Accounting Society, Finance Clubs, etc.) whether or not you’re a “big fish”. Groups and clubs are looking for freshmen to not just join but get involved. College is an opportunity to refresh and launch your you 2.0. It won’t be cliquey like high school so push yourself to get involved and you will be a leader.
