University of Notre Dame Top Questions

for the most part

not really

for some but not all students

Yes. And it shouldn't be.

I don't think so. I think there are certainly some kids who fit that stereotype, but you'll find people like that at any school. I love Notre Dame and think that, yes, we are all extremely fortunate and have been given a lot of blessings in our lives. However, I think we are also very driven, intelligent people who do work hard to achieve and accomplish what we want in our lives.

Drinking isnt as big of a problem, and girls are about the same as any other place, but the others are kinda true.

Somewhat

1) True.

actually yes.

Well, a lot are definately rich white kids, but there are a lot of people who are on financial aid and are minorities, too.

Somewhat true, there is a fair bit of diversity.

There are more tame, well mannered, and not much fun people here, per capita, than the average university, but that doesn't mean there aren't also psycho, cool students.

To come extents some of the stereotypes are true, there really isn't a ton of diversity on the campus, though I don't feel I've ever experienced any racial or socioeconomic problems except with minority groups sticking together and being exclusive.

nope.

To some extent, these stereotypes are true, but of course, stereotypes never truly depict a group of people. Many Notre Dame students come from different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds, and though not all are Catholic, many are.

yes

for the most part, yes, although not to a negative extreme. there's just not a lot of diversity here.

Like all stereotypes, I think there is a kernal of truth at the bottom of them, but they tell an incomplete story. Yes, there are Notre Dame students who are stuck up or who are unaccepting. But, on the whole, Notre Dame students are some of the most kind and genuine people I have ever and many give of their time to the community. Should more? Absolutely. But it is inaccurate to say everyone at ND is a rich snob.

Relatively accurate. There isn't much diversity on campus, though the administration tries to attract minorities. A large majority of the students are Catholic, but to varying degrees. A lot of people excelled at sports in high school, but they also did well academically.

mostly, yeah.
