<p>My mom really wants me to apply to notre dame but I dont know how I feel about the school. ND is probably a big reach for me, but if accepted I dont know if id want to go there. I have developed a hatred towards the school for really no valid reason (can't stand all the fans in illinois). Also, although Im catholic, I really dont want religion to be any part of my college experience. To me ND seems dull, run down and boring. With that being said can someone comment on the parties and social life at ND?</p>
<p>You hate the school and its fans. You don’t want religion to be any part of your college experience. It’s unlikely that either of those two things will change in the next few months. Do yourself a favor, and don’t apply.</p>
<p>Ditto, but must add that if there’s one thing Notre Dame is NOT it’s run-down. Its campus is the best-maintained I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been to hundreds of them.</p>
<p>It sounds like you really would not enjoy ND and that it would almost be like hell for you, so i wouldn’t apply. save your spot for someone who really wants to attend, and there are plenty of people who would kill to attend ND. </p>
<p>i also agree with aristophanes, ND had the best campus that I visited</p>
<p>We don’t need anymore Cubs fans at ND anyway.</p>
<p>hahaha, completely agree!!!</p>
<p>but seriously, do what pleases you… as i’ve heard a few times… when making a college decision, be a bit selfish and truly choose the place YOU want to be</p>
