<p>How generous is ND with financial aid packages? Are families "pleasantly surprised" or disappointed when they find out the amount that they must pay? For families making around or under $200,000/yr, what would thinks look like? Are packages mostly loans or scholarships or what? Might I have to turn down Notre Dame because it'd be too expensive?</p>
<p>Is there a chance that because of the success of the football team this season that financial aid packages would be more generous? The admissions rep for my area mentioned in an info session that the profits from athletic programs go towards financial aid...</p>
