<p>If you had acceptances from BC and ND, which would you go to and why? I have my own thoughts and leaning, but I am a little too close to this one and would appreciate knowing how others who might be more objective would view it. Thanks.</p>
<p>I don't think you can depend on someone else's decision to make your own. Have you visited the campuses? Which one felt better to you? As far as student body goes, which one is the better fit? I hope you don't base your decision on what others say...you're the one that will be spending the next 4 (possibly more) years of your life there.</p>
<p>Boston vs. South Bend
liberal Catholics vs. conservative Catholics
hockey vs. football</p>
<p>Notre Dame because:
1. It's a better school
2. Football
3. I'm a legacy
4. Great Books program
5. Awesome campus
6. Fantastic alumni who love the school</p>
<p>ND is ranked 17 or 18th in academics by US News while Boston College is 40th. Agree about ND's alumni -giving rate 2times that of BC's. Also ND is more national.</p>
