No need to apologize for focusing on things other than RUclips; that completely makes sense right now! I just finished my freshman year at ND as well, and I also live in a super old dorm with no air conditioning... and I'm living on the fourth floor next year 😭 I totally agree with what you said; you have a great channel! 😊
I slept in a dorm once where there were 4 beds (two bunk beds) for 4 guys. One guy had girl there for most of the night and early morning and he was fornicating with her, it was miserable sleeping there I had nightmares.
Hi, Jordan. You may not know who I am, but I knew you. You were the tour guide on my first day in ND for a 2-week program. Today I suddenly found your RUclips channel by this vid, it's adorable. Hope I can be there next year. Have a nice day, Jordan!
That’s totally understandable but Notre Dame does a great job with financial aid so they try and do their best to ease the financial burden of families. Remember this is not a 4 year decision, it’s a 40 decision. ND does a great job of setting you up for success!
Jordan Walker Thank you for your reply. It’s a bit of a complicated situation as my family makes too much money for me to receive any real Financial aid. But at the same time they are not interested in helping pay for any tuition/fees so essentially it’s all up to me. Even if I got several merit based scholarships I would still likely owe a ton of money. I’m just not sure taking on the tens of thousands in debt will be worth it when I can probably get a full ride to the state school near me. If money was not a factor Notre Dame would be my number one choice though. I definitely think the return on investment is there for taking debt for graduate school. But as far as undergrad I’m not sure yet...
Of the five things you mentioned that you hate about Notre Dame, I can only feel sorry for you about the tuition. That is unbelievable! I went to Notre Dame from 1972 to 1976. Tuition, Room & Board, etc., was around $7000 per year. Room and & Board even included MAID SERVICE our Freshmen year (they discontinued it our Sophomore year). I made it through by working summer jobs between school and student loans totaling around $25,000. I could NOT afford to attend today. Perhaps this is why ND had to cancel Interhall Football. The rough and tough kids from Middle Class families, who love football, can't attend ND because their folks can't afford it (so you get the rich kids who played Lacrosse, golf, or soccer in high school instead of football (I noticed how ND won the NC in Lacrosse this year). Regarding dorms, I lived in Dillon Hall which was built in the 1930s so I can't sympathize with a guy who lives in a dorm that was built in the 1950s (You must be in Zahm right?). Regarding air conditioning, if you guys start in early August, I feel for you. We started in late August, but the heat wasn't that bad. It was the humidity that was awful. Regarding location, yeah, South Bend is in the middle of nowhere, but Chicago is only 90 miles away. Michigan is only eight miles away. When we were Freshmen, the drinking age in Michigan was only 18 (they later changed it back to 21). As Freshmen, we would walk the eight miles to Niles, Michigan, in order to drink beer. And lastly regarding parietals, here's a hint, don't have the girl in your dorm, sneak into her dorm. We all knew by our Sophomore year that they watched the girls less than they watched the guys!!! Have fun! My four years at Notre Dame were the best years of my life. And that degree from Notre Dame is VERY valuable! Trust me on that one!
I would say there is a mix of political views. I know people on both sides of the political spectrum but I have not met anyone who dislikes another based solely on their political views.
@@Vivian_here I understand where you are coming from, at the end of the day it is a Catholic school so it follows those beliefs but it is not forced on the students, we can still have our own political beliefs and I haven't met anyone who won't be your friend based on your political views lol.
ND alumnus checking in on the new scene. I feel very old listening to that soundtrack in the background. Young people seem to think that everything needs a soundtrack. So it seems. It is plenty for us "older folks" to have just a voice communicating.
Thank you for this honest review. I’m thoroughly convinced that this is not the right school for my son. The accessibility of the school from Chicago airport is a big NO for me since we must fly into Chicago.
So if I am going to Notre Dame for my Ph.D. I shouldn't look into on campus housing then? I have a gf that would want to stay the night when she is visiting.
Is the University of Notre Dame a white majority school? It seems a lot of the Notre Dame youtube videos only have white students in them. My daughter is Native American (Navajo) from Shiprock, New Mexico. How would my daughter fit in at Notre Dame? Will she feel out of place, or discriminated against, not fit in, given a 2nd look at because of her race, not fully accepted, or have fingers being pointed at her saying "she's Indian"? Will her culture be accepted? Are there cliques on campus, where Asians hang together, whites hang together, blacks hang together, etc.? Native Americans are under represented at Notre Dame, and she has no one to hang with, and I think no one will extend a helping hand (except the Fathers) to tell her to be with them. That is how it is for Native Americans when they try to mix with whites. Whites hang together. Native Americans (very few of them) just hang with themselves. By looking at the Notre Dame videos on youtube, it seems a lot of the Notre Dame white students seem kind of rich & spoiled! I don't think there is a huge racism or discrimination problem at Notre Dame, but I think there is a subtle discrimination problem that occurs for those people that are minorities within a minority, that are not fully accepted. My daughter is 16 years old, in the 10th grade, taking 12th grade courses at San Juan College High School, and college courses at San Juan College in Farmington, New Mexico. She has a high school gpa of 4.2, hasn't missed a day of school since kindergarten (meaning she never missed a day of school), has straight "A"s except for 1 "C" she received in 'Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus' caused by COVID-19. I think the University of Notre Dame would be a good school for her to go to (since she is Catholic), but I think she might not be fully accepted by the students there because she is culturally, ethnically, and racially unique. Are you able to add your comments concerning this?
@@janyia3388 Notre Dame was one of the few schools Catholics, specifically Irish Catholics, could attend. Back when the Irish were called "niggers or negroes turned inside out"
Ya Ta Hey/Dah go teeh. Are you "Dineeh"? Jemez? Acoma? Zuni? Cochiti? I am Apache from San Carlos, AZ and graduated from Notre Dame in 1991. I went to St. Catherine's HS in Santa Fe, NM (now closed). Currently, I am an online graduate student in the MS in Data Science at St. Mary's College next to ND. Quick Answer: from my observation, the racial tension present in early 1990s has decreased dramatically in modern times. But there will be challenges in cultural misunderstanding or huge differences in academic backgrounds. The problem with reservations and small, rural high schools is that the courses are usually much easier. The average SAT/ACT and number of AP courses these days for top college students are ludicrously high. I have seen many great reservation students dropout at elite private schools like Notre Dame, MIT, Harvard, Stanford, etc. who likely would have thrived if they had gone to UNM, New Mexico State, NAU, Fort Lewis, Arizona, ASU, etc. I would recommend following the path of Sandra Begay (former AISES Executive President). She went to UNM as an undergraduate and took her time to excel in rigorous engineering courses over about six years. Then she went to graduate school at Stanford and did very well. Sandra gave a speech at ND when UNM played ND in 2019. She is now a CEO in ABQ. I think your daughter should wait until graduate school for schools like Notre Dame, Stanford, Harvard, MIT, etc. A good analogy is running. High school academic competition is like running a 5k race at sea level where you get an A if you finish in less than 25 minutes. But at Notre Dame, it's like running a half marathon in Santa Fe with competition that has sub-5-minute milers who can finish the course in 1 hr and 25 min or less. And you get an "A" if you finish in < 1 hr and 15 min. Notre Dame STEM is like that - it burns out students who got near perfect SAT scores with many AP courses. I know one student raised by prep school teachers who graduate with about B- average in engineering despite having ND parents as alumni. That's how hard it gets. I would recommend waiting until graduate school for places like ND. If I could do it over, I would have gone to Scottsdale Community College for the first two years then ASU as a junior. Then I would have done an engineering PhD out-of-state then a JD at ND Law to do patent law and participate in the "patent wars" for mobile phones of the 2010s. But that is based on what I know now.
@@manuelsteele8030 Hello. Yes, my daughter and I are Navajo. We live in Shiprock, New Mexico. My daughter is 17 years old, and will begin the 12th grade, her Senior year, in Fall 2022 (August 2022). She will start applying to at least 11 different universities from July 2022 to October 2022. My daughter does not want to go to Notre Dame anymore even though she is Catholic. But my wife wants her to choose Notre Dame. My daughter doesn't want to go to any religious schools (Notre Dame, BYU, Biola, Pepperdine, etc.). My daughter plans on going to Stanford, NM Tech, UNM, NMSU, ASU, UArizona, Cornell, NAU, Colorado School of Mines, UCLA, or Berkeley. It will depend on acceptance and financial aid. UCLA and Berkeley does not give California State financial aid for those non-California students, which my daughter is, if accepted there. My daughter has a 4.0 GPA at San Juan College High School (SJCHS) in Farmington, New Mexico. She will get her SJCHS high school diploma and her SJC 'Associate of Science Degree in Engineering' in May 2023. My daughter is interested in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Architecture, Nursing, or Graphic Design. She is actually interested in Mechatronics, but nearly no university in the U.S.A. has a bachelor's degree in Mechatronics. Next year, 2022-2023, in 2 more months, will be my daughter's Senior year. She has already taken Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Calculus based Physics 1 (with lab), CAD, MAT Lab, Computer Fundamentals (using C++), English Composition 1, General Chemistry 1 (with lab), Macro-Economic Principles, Navajo 1, and Introduction to Engineering. She will take English Composition 2 during Summer 2022. For Fall 2022, the beginning of her 12th grade, Senior year, my daughter will take Engineering Circuit Analysis, Mechanics - Statics, Calculus 3, Calculus based Physics 2 (with lab), and Navajo 2. For Spring 2023, her last semester of 12th grade high school, my daughter will take Mechanics - Dynamics, General Chemistry 2 (with lab), Ordinary Differential Equations, and Physics 3 (with lab). Yes, Stanford, Cornell, Colorado School of Mines, UCLA, and Berkeley are extremely hard STEM schools. We will figure it out if she is accepted there, and if she gets a full scholarship there, if she will go there. I think common sense tells us she will probably end up going to UNM, NM Tech, or NMSU, because she doesn't have to pay tuition or fees (because my daughter is a New Mexico resident), and her counselor tells her she will get a residential scholarship to cover her residential housing. It is logical choice, but New Mexico universities are not highly ranked, though they are still good universities. My daughter's first choice was U.C. Berkeley, but it went down to last place, when we learned that she will not get California State financial aid because she is not a California resident.
@@HarrisonLapahie I would highly recommend going in-state for the undergraduate years. Do a capstone or senior thesis and participate in a research group. Then use that to gain leverage on a graduate fellowship at one of those out-of-state schools like Stanford, the Ivy League, etc. New Mexico has some very elite professors in engineering. At St. Mary's College, I gave a presentation on data science with machine learning for the spread of COVID-19 on the Navajo Reservation. I joined the research group by Dr. Gil Gallegos at New Mexico Highlands. He earned his PhD at NMSU. The graduate students were amazing and of very high aptitude. So, your daughter would have access to in-state professors and high-quality research groups with international students who can elevate the STEM/engineering research acumen. It is obvious your daughter has maxed out on the academic rigor available locally. But just know that when you get to the elite schools like Stanford, Notre Dame, Cornell, etc., the average student probably has more rigor of HS credentials because that is how hypercompetitive it gets. HS students with 5 or more AP programs done and a perfect gpa and near-perfect or perfect SAT/ACT routinely get rejected at Stanford, the Ivy League, etc. So, it's like that running analogy I gave. However, staying in-state can help prepare with realism for graduate research with students like that. I bet your daughter can finish at UNM or NMSU or NMHU in about 3 to 3.5 years then go to Stanford or Cornell, etc. when she is in her early 20s. At that point, there are fellowships available that cover tuition, stipend, etc. Best wishes! The students at St. Mary's College (part of Notre Dame's network) really appreciated the presentation I gave on modeling COVID-19 spread on the Navajo reservation with artificial neural networks. That group helped me get into a PhD at Arizona State for the new Data Analytics and Engineering program. I work full-time at Medtronic while doing the PhD. Here Dr. Gallegos - cs.nmhu.edu/prem2/rapid-covid-19.php
I am an "old school" gradate from 1991. I am Apache Indian from rural AZ. I majored in physics. I suffered from academic burnout my sophomore year. I also had unresolved childhood trauma from the sociological conditions on the reservation. I got along with many dorm residents. However, some were racist in a "subtle" way. There was racial tension when I was there. As for "parietals" there was a 3:1 male-to-female ratio, so there were many guys left out. I also witnessed subtle racism and colorism in dating preferences. The overwhelming STEM courses, problems-at-home, and subtle/covert racism burned me out by my senior year. I couldn't wait to leave. A lot of minorities dropped out. There was a minority student group called SUFR that protested in the Dome building. They wanted improvements in minority resources, more faculty of color, etc. Basically, sometimes the "white" kids from the suburbs couldn't get along with the minorities from inner cities or rural areas. The key word is "sometimes" - there were many positive counterexamples. Decades later, I returned online for an MS in Data Science at SMC. They went coed in the graduate school around 2015. I am a former ND "Zahmbie" now at SMC - lol. So, I actually have access to student ID and tickets despite being older than many of your parents- lol. I haven't returned in years but look forward to some campus games next fall. Although I am online, the younger generation seems far more inclusive. I gave a presentation on COVID-19 research at SMC, and the students actually wanted me to come back. I had great experience in online projects for data science with study groups from SMC. By contrast, in the 1980s there was racism among white women - locking the door at the sight of minorities, ostracizing interracial couples, etc. I had that experience at Lyons when I heard racist white women talking about me when they thought I couldn't hear them. But modern ND and SMC appear to have improved a lot. I am glad I am in that MS program and look forward to returning to ND/SMC later this year.
@@John_Doe563 Thank you for your kind response. Keep in mind that the incidents of racism I described were from 1987-1991. In modern times, I went back to ND for my graduation at SMC. I earned an MS in Data Science online. I actually marched with the graduate students at SMC in May of 2023. I was an old "Zahmbie" (Zahm Hall) resident with an MS from SMC. Go figure. The young students were great and very inclusive. I felt completely welcome in the ceremony. I had fun. It was great to be back after many years to the ND/SMC campus. SMC was an all women's college when I was at ND. It's part of the campus network. But in 2015 or so they admitted men into the graduate programs. I am one of their male graduates. SMC is still all-female at the undergraduate level though.
That can't be true because Notre Dame's video "Welcome to Notre Dame: This Is Where Your Journey Begins" says they teach their students Humility. And don't try to tell them differently in the comments section, because you are not allowed to comment.
Why are you doing this Notre Dame man Notre Dame is in the states and Guam what kind of videos are you doing people are always seeing you you know what happens if other people talk about your school really putting a thumbs down probably not your games more better than you

🌍🌍🌍🌍🙏🙏🙏🙏 notre dame better
The things that you hate are the things that make ND great. lol
Agreed, but A/C in August would be nice haha, but ND is truly a special place and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Agree! Except for the AC lol
I am an "old school" gradate from 1991. I am Apache Indian from rural AZ. I majored in physics. I suffered from academic burnout my sophomore year. I also had unresolved childhood trauma from the sociological conditions on the reservation. I got along with many dorm residents. However, some were racist in a "subtle" way. There was racial tension when I was there. As for "parietals" there was a 3:1 male-to-female ratio, so there were many guys left out. I also witnessed subtle racism and colorism in dating preferences. The overwhelming STEM courses, problems-at-home, and subtle/covert racism burned me out by my senior year. I couldn't wait to leave. A lot of minorities dropped out. There was a minority student group called SUFR that protested in the Dome building. They wanted improvements in minority resources, more faculty of color, etc. Basically, sometimes the "white" kids from the suburbs couldn't get along with the minorities from inner cities or rural areas. The key word is "sometimes" - there were many positive counterexamples. Decades later, I returned online for an MS in Data Science at SMC. They went coed in the graduate school around 2015. I am a former ND "Zahmbie" now at SMC - lol. So, I actually have access to student ID and tickets despite being older than many of your parents- lol. I haven't returned in years but look forward to some campus games next fall. Although I am online, the younger generation seems far more inclusive. I gave a presentation on COVID-19 research at SMC, and the students actually wanted me to come back. I had great experience in online projects for data science with study groups from SMC. By contrast, in the 1980s there was racism among white women - locking the door at the sight of minorities, ostracizing interracial couples, etc. I had that experience at Lyons when I heard racist white women talking about me when they thought I couldn't hear them. But modern ND and SMC appear to have improved a lot. I am glad I am in that MS program and look forward to returning to ND/SMC later this year.
@@John_Doe563 Thank you for your kind response. Keep in mind that the incidents of racism I described were from 1987-1991. In modern times, I went back to ND for my graduation at SMC. I earned an MS in Data Science online. I actually marched with the graduate students at SMC in May of 2023. I was an old "Zahmbie" (Zahm Hall) resident with an MS from SMC. Go figure. The young students were great and very inclusive. I felt completely welcome in the ceremony. I had fun. It was great to be back after many years to the ND/SMC campus. SMC was an all women's college when I was at ND. It's part of the campus network. But in 2015 or so they admitted men into the graduate programs. I am one of their male graduates. SMC is still all-female at the undergraduate level though.
I hate their football team most of all, not because they beat us, because they're arrogant and get special treatment.
That can't be true because Notre Dame's video "Welcome to Notre Dame: This Is Where Your Journey Begins" says they teach their students Humility. And don't try to tell them differently in the comments section, because you are not allowed to comment.
Why are you doing this Notre Dame man Notre Dame is in the states and Guam what kind of videos are you doing people are always seeing you you know what happens if other people talk about your school really putting a thumbs down probably not your games more better than you
