Solid takes. I think there is value to choosing a school where you can’t get that same experience anywhere else (ie undergrad focus, living in indiana if you are out of state, football, dorm system). I was in between Columbia and ND and chose ND because I felt like I could always go to NYC for grad school or a post-grad job but couldn’t get same ND experience later if I went to Columbia for undergrad….I feel like that this is something that is underrated abt ND too.
@@DrewBraaten Gotcha. If I had the good fortune to go there, I believe football would have had a huge impact on me and my experience. Everyone is different, but I think your list is honest and very accurate for most... from what I have seen (1 student tour and 1 informal visit). Nice work and thanks for all the great content!
I think that dorms, parietals, and relationships are all more negatives in my opinion as they really make gender relations worse on campus. I also think you could've added more thoughts on like political environment, and diversity (LGBT, first gen, low income, etc).
I see. That is 100% Fair. I think all three categories could have been a bit more negative, as my review is probably slightly over-positive. There does seem to be a wide range of opinions on dorms and relationships, though. If I did this again (or made a pt2) I would include the political environment. And I would have expanded more on diversity, as my discussion in this video is a little narrow. Thanks for your thoughts and ideas!
@@DrewBraaten how would you say the political environment is? I’m someone who doesn’t want politics shoved down my throat at college so I’m wondering how big of a role it plays. Adding on to this, how are ND students with people who disagree politically? Like are different ideas from both sides respected and are people willing to be friends with those who may disagree?
@@caileyc.5544 (To anyone other students seeing this comment, please respond as well, as I don't have the deepest insight) From my experience, I've never felt like politics has been shoved down my throat. The most would probably be a finance teacher making jokes about Biden or my design teacher hating on Trump. Overall, the political environment on campus is respectful. Notre Dame has more political diversity than other T-20 schools, considering the sizeable % of conservative and moderate students. There are large College Democrat and Republican clubs (not sure which one is larger). There is also a club called BridgeND which is built around decreasing political polarization. There was a student poll done during the 2020 election -- showing 62% of students voted for Biden, 31% voted for Trump, and 6% for others. I think Clinton vs. Trump was even closer than that. I don't have any data on this, but I would predict that Notre Dame has a higher % of politically apathetic students than a school like Brown or Yale.
Take some of my opinions with a grain of salt, as the masters vs undergrad experience can be very different at ND. But let me know if you have any questions
@@DrewBraaten yeah, most dorm-life things I’m not considering but I graduated early so I’ll also “blend-in” with the undergraduate crowd being younger!

Also thanks for the outside nd plug :) Sb is def underrated!
im an incoming freshman and this was so helpful! i love ur videoss
Very well spoken good lad!
congratulations !! GREAT VIDEO!
football at B is crazy should have been at A.
Nah S games are so fun
What do y'all think was my best and worst take in the video?
football is A tier
@isad1603 Bingo... my thought, exactly. I might even go to "S." Notre Dame football is legendary... Knute, Four Horsemen, Rudy, etc.
@@thescovillekidfor Notre dame history and reputation it is S, but for impact on student experience its between A and B, imo

Drew favorite ND sporting event to go to besides football?
Shout out Baumer Hall for making the tier list photo

Currently deciding between ND and UMich for a one year masters 😪
Take some of my opinions with a grain of salt, as the masters vs undergrad experience can be very different at ND.
But let me know if you have any questions

Would you have less of a chance of getting in you're not catholic?
I don’t think so, but am not certain
