What are students like? Academics?
Very work hard play hard. In general, it’s a very friendly campus, one where you can leave your computer hanging around in the library and not be concerned about someone stealing it. There is a lot of pride in the school and also in your dorm, and it is a pretty athletic campus overall. Academics are tough, but that’s to be expected.
I think the vibe is friendly, collaborative, but also the classes are very rigorous and generally excellent. I have two ND students, both have felt the teaching in general was outstanding. Students tend to like their dorms, and most kids return to the same dorm the next year. The dorms have a lot of fun traditions, and dorm alums come back to join in the charity events. I think students tend to be smart, social, fun.
