Love Notre Dame, what's a good back up?

The ND campus is gorgeous, but a campus is only a small part of the college experience. I suggest thinking about the other important attributes you liked at ND (perhaps student body, religious affiliation, program, size, sports programs etc.) and make those an important part of your college-hunting criteria.

You can look into WashU (probably pretty similar in selectivity), Villanova, Lehigh, URochester.
