<p>Soooooo financial aid. It makes me nervous just thinking about it because my parents won't let me go if it isn't enough for them. So I was just wondering if anyone knows how generous is Notre Dame and how accurate the is estimate from the net price calculator?</p>

<p>From what I remember, my financial aid package was pretty close to the estimate from the net price calculator. It’s still a bit of a struggle to pay for the tuition, but without their aid it would have been impossible. I thought they were pretty generous, and so far it’s been completely worth it!</p>
<p>DS is a freshman at ND. We found their NPC to be accurate within a couple hundred dollars, although our family situation is one that works well for NPCs generally (relatively stable income, primary residence is only real estate, no major assets/unusual expenses, etc.).</p>
<p>Our original ND offer was generous, but they were actually willing to match our aid offer from another highly selective university. Oops - let me rephrase that - they were willing to review our package in the context of a peer school’s evaluation.</p>
