<p>I have been recently accepted at both universities. I, personally, feel more of a connection with Notre Dame; however, everyone that I tell this to thinks I'm crazy for not preferring Northwestern. I know it's my choice, but I feel like I might be overlooking some things, and everyone else is correct in saying I should choose Northwestern. Do you think it's okay if I like Notre Dame more? Or should I be liking Northwestern more like everyone else keeps telling me to?</p>
<p>I also am stuck between both of these schools! But I don’t really have a stronger connection with either; I love both of them. To me it seems like you actually love Notre Dame, but just feel like you should love Northwestern. Both are high caliber universities with excellent academics. Considering you love ND, that’s what you should choose. Maybe I’ll be joining you next year then :)</p>
<p>Go with your gut, and your gut seems to be indicating ND. Plus, ND has a MUCH stronger alumni network! Maybe I’ll see both of you next year.</p>
<p>Both are excellent schools; neither is innately better for all or even most students. It comes down to personal preference. It sounds like you prefer Notre Dame, which is just as good a choice as Northwestern. </p>
<p>Be proud of your accomplishments and of your future school. Don’t let others tell you how to feel.</p>
