Notre Dame or Wash U??!!!!

<p>Undecided major... any advice??</p>

<p>Well, how much does a catholic environment matter to you? Cause ND is going to be much more religious than Wash U.</p>

<p>And if you go by most rankings, WashU is overall a more prestigious school...but then again rankings should never be taken face value. Have you visited them?</p>

<p>I visited both and prefer ND socially but I think wash u will be better academically</p>

<p>I would say that the schools are on par with each other academically. I mean, Washu is like 11th on the USNews scale and ND is like 18th. Thats not a huge difference. I was waitlisted to WashU and accepted to ND. I enrolled in ND and Im hyped about going there. Even if I was accepted, I would have still chosen ND. WashU,from what Ive heard from friends that go there, is a very high pressure environment (especially if you decide on doing a science). ND is much more relaxed and calm and theres a sense of camraderie whereas at WashU you're viewed as competition.</p>

<p>wash u is a very relaxed campus, i was just there last week, but if i were you i would choose nd, like others have said, they're close in the rankings, which are skewed anyway; some students at wash u even told me they though wash u should be ranked lower and told me to go to the other school i was considering, plus, wash u has d3 athletics, haha, a laughable program when compared to nd</p>
