Notre Dame vs Wesleyan

<p>Few people seem to compare these two schools. I need help with deciding! I know Notre Dame is a tightly knitted community and Wesleyan is very diverse. I am atheist and Chinese, which would make me a minority at Notre Dame so I am leaning towards Wesleyan. Can you guys share your opinions about these two schools with me in terms of name recognition and atmosphere? Thanks!
I am planning to major in business and working oversea at China but I don't think either schools are well recognized in China?</p>

<p>Wesleyan. From your post, I just have a sense it is a better fit for you.</p>

<p>Yea I totally agree</p>

<p>If you’re planning on studying business, than ND is the right choice. It’s a much more prestigious program. </p>

<p>You would definitely be a minority at ND, so if that really makes you uncomfortable or anything, than Wes would probably be a better choice.</p>

<p>Wesleyan does not appear to offer an undergraduate business program.</p>

<p>ND has the major your want (it is an excellent business school) and is probably better known internationally and Wesleyan (CT) doesn’t have an undergraduate business program but sounds like a better fit for you personally. Only you can decide.</p>

<p>I’m comparing Notre Dame and Barnard, so it’s a relatively similar situation- the schools have nothing in common at all and it’s driving me crazy. </p>

<p>But for you, I would think the best fit would be whichever one you’re more comfortable at if you’ve had the opportunity to visit. Although ND has a great business program, and Wesleyan doesn’t have one, I guess you should keep in mind that with business you’ll most likely have to get a masters in order to be competitive in the field, and in general, Wesleyan is very respected in the academic realm. Just a few thoughts.</p>
