Hi there! Starting a thread to see if anyone’s son/daughter has also been accepted into the 10.0 ND Gateway cohort and considering attending. We are doing as much research as we can on the program and interested in learning what others have to say (current, past or future!)
Hello - my son was also accepted. Still gathering information and speaking with past students.

My son is a current Gateway 9.0. Some things that your kids should know when making this decision is that you feel very much like a HC student and not an ND one, you really need to be motivated to make the mile walk to ND to engage in any ND activities, and that the 9.0’s were told by ND to find off campus housing for their sophomore year (what will be their first ND year) as housing availability would be extremely limited or nonexistent. The students were told this only six weeks into the Gateway program this fall. I can’t give a complete evaluation on the year as he is still experiencing it, but these are important facts to be aware of.

@Jeanne_Limoges_Lang Thanks for the information. Were Gateway 9.0 students given any indication about whether is will be possible/likely to get on campus housing in second semester sophomore year (presumably when some juniors go abroad) or during their junior year?
Thanks for this. We had heard similar feedback before which makes us a little nervous about her accepting. But gathering all the anecdotal info we can - so appreciate your willingness to share. Overall, and noting that it’s still early to tell, but is he glad he did it?
Yes, they can move on campus second semester of sophomore year, but keep in mind they are signing year-long leases in off campus apartments.
It’s all my son knows of college, so he has no comparison. Sounds like now 10.0s will be guaranteed on campus housing, which was not offered to 9.0 cohort. That’s pretty huge!

Just read that! Thanks for your feedback. Definitely a challenging year for your kiddo. And for so many. Hoping it all works out well.
DD 7.0 cohort. Junior at ND. Double major Neuroscience and Theology. She just applied early to grad school. She gives tours for future cohorts as well. Loved everything about Gateway and wouldn’t change a thing. 10.0 cohorts are guaranteed housing.

So glad they made this happen - sorry for the stress it put on current kids but glad they made it right. Definitely makes accepting a spot in 10.0 more appealing.
Has anyone started a Gateway 2026 Facebook page or GroupMe? Younger brother was offered (and accepted) his spot today and he’d love to connect with the other members of the class.

Sorry - haven’t been on here in months. Hopefully your brother has connected with Gateways already but if not, let me know and I’ll ask my daughter to connect!
If there are any current Parents on here (Gateway 10.0) there’s a parent FB page. Just search Gateway HCND Parents - 10.0
See you all in a couple of days!
