Lauren, Enjoyed your presentation and thought it to be informative. It confirmed what I thought the school would be like, based on what I have heard and read. I’m pleased that you had a good experience there, that you found the school to be a place with a strong sense of community, where you could greet people and when members of the Notre Dame community met, they warmly greeted each other and there’s a warm bond that exists between them, whether current students or alumni or faculty and staff. I was also impressed that you found the other students to be not only easy to approach but that they all had a caring and cooperative spirit, willing to help, rather than selfish and needlessly competitive. Sensing that you are in a place where you are among others who care about you, when you are planning to be there for such a considerable length of time and at such an important point of your life that can do so much to influence you and the course of your life, is a blessing and can enable you to have experiences that will be the basis for cherished and memorable times. I know the question I have for you will seem incongruous with the preceding comments, but I would like to know if you found the academic atmosphere and classes to be tolerant of students who would challenge, respectfully, and question anything the instructor said or that a student read in assigned reading. I ask this because it is well known that there is a bias at many universities against students who hold traditional beliefs about social matters, and would be considered to be conservative and right on the political spectrum. There are multiple stories of conservative minded people who have been shouted down, protested against, or disinvited or otherwise prevented from speaking. This has happened at Yale, Portland State, Baylor. This anti conservative bias exists with both administration and faculty, and also students at many American universities. I hope that this is not so at Notre Dame. Not allowing anyone to speak to students who are willing to listen and may want to question, is at odds with what my understanding is of what a college education should be and include. Did you meet any student from Hawaii? I believe that Notre Dame would be a place where someone from Hawaii would feel comfortable, from what I have heard and what you have said, despite the weather. While Hawaii does have cold and snow like you experienced there, those places don’t get nearly as much as what was shown in your video. They are places at the highest elevations. But the community atmosphere you spoke of would be very attractive to people from Hawaii, where there is a
Thanks a lot for the information. I am a master degree student in Austria ,and I can choose one of 4 universities to study erasmus+ in the USA .Those are Notre Dame, Appalachian State Unv, New Orleans, and Utah state unv. Which one should I choose.I am undecided. Btw ,just New Orleans we need to pay tuition fee,others are free.
I graduated from Notre Dame in 1991 and lived in Zahm. My roommate was Korean from Evansville - a really brilliant pre-med major and also in the band. After graduation, I had not seen him in years but called him around 1999 just to catch up. Then I saw him by surprise at the Las Vegas Airport in 2003. He is now a doctor. The interesting thing about his family history was the story of his parents. They were refugees of the Korean War of the early 1950s. Back in the 70s and 80s, there used to be a show called "M.A.S.H." that was a comedy/drama about the Korean War at a mobile surgical unit. Since my roommate's parents were real physicians, they complained how the show did not accurately depict the Korean War. I still remember that family discussion at dinner in their home. I was impressed with their immigrant story of survival. All their children became physicians as I recall. Writing this it seems like yesterday when it was actually over 30 years ago in the late 1980s - lol. Rejoice in your youth of the 20s. As for me, I actually went back to SMC for an MS in Data Science remotely as an online student. Then I got into a PhD program for data science while working at Medtronic. I was probably the oldest guy at the SMC graduation last month - lol. Go figure, an ND "Zahmbie" who graduated from ND in 1991 and SMC in 2023. Best wishes on your career.
@@Yopiwastaken I used to love playing in the annual bookstore basketball tournament. I still want to come back to campus to play one last pickup game before my legs are gone for good. I've been doing high altitude training in Flagstaff, AZ and running mountain half marathons. I'm aiming for the fall or late spring.
Thank you so much for sharing pros and cons from your point of view. I'm watching three years later and I still find the video super informative and helpful.
Great job with the video. I am a Notre Dame Grad (class of 76) and can relate to all of your pros and cons. Actually when I went there the food was awful, so I am jealous of how they have improved it. I loved the sense of community. I lived in St. Joseph Hall across the lake and it was not only beautiful but had a great set of people both living there and adminstering the dorm. You are correct on college recruiters from back east not focusing on Notre Dame. I lived in New Jersey when I went there and when I got out and started looking for a job in NYC they all wanted me to have that ivy league diploma. But I found that most of the students didn't get their initial jobs through campus interviews anyway. And there is a great Alumni network that can help when the time comes. Go Irish !!
i’m an 8 grader right now, but notre dame is my dream school; i’m a goalie so i’m hoping i would be able to play for their woman’s soccer team but i know that there’s a lot of competition that comes with that
Omg I'm in you're grade and me too! The school sounds like an outstanding option for my future plans. I really wanna be on their fencing team someday, just like my fencing hero, Lee Kiefer
Thanks for doing your video Lauren; it's always great to catch up with ND things. I'm a Double Domer. I had to laugh at the items you listed as your "cons" -- because I don't consider them "cons" at all -- and it you are representative of today's ND students, the complaints track with the PUBLIC objections of years past, but PRIVATELY people for the most part will NOT make such complaints :) 1. Single sex dorms: most people -- especially women -- actually prefer it this way. I had MANY/MOST female friends tell me in private that they didn't want guys to see them "looking their worst, etc., and they didn't want to have to deal with (generally speaking) messier and noisier male students in their living areas. And from a guy's perspective, it's a lot easier trudging down the hallway in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom wearing just your underwear and/or walking the hallway in the morning wearing little clothing en route to grabbing a shower ... that wouldn't be possible with dual gender dorms. 2. Parietals: Again, most of my female friends were heavily in favor of them. During the school week, when they were done studying and maybe relaxing for a bit, they didn't want some roomate's boyfriend continuing to hang out in the room while they wanted to go to bed. Midnight is more than a fair cutoff time for visitation hours sun through Thursday nights, and 2 a.m. for Friday and Saturday nights. Each dorm had a 24-hour lounge (typically near the rector's/rectress' room) where opposite gender students could be without violating parietals. There are also plenty of student lounge spaces on campus if you want to START watching a movie at midnight on school nights (but my experience is that was a time to start either having heart-to-heart talks with your best friend(s) after most folks had gone to bed, or time to hit the rack myself!) 3. South Bend/campus alleged "isolation" from fun city life: Again, NOT a problem for me. My pur[ose for being in school was to study & learn, and perhaps make some life-long friends alog the way. I didn't sacrifice to attend a super-expensive school like ND with the objective of partying, and going on city excursions. Being "isolated" inuredto the benefit of focusing on schoolwork. 4. Weather: You just got done telling everyone that you enjoyed ND having all 4 seasons ... well, in winter, it snows. NOT a problem. In December it's festive with the semesterwinding down and Christmas arriving; students are back at schoolonly for the second half of January following Christmas break, and February is only 1 short month. By March, snow is infrequent. BTW, yes, it's true that ND doesn't typically do "snow days" like when students were kids. That's largely because it's a self-contained residential campus, and students are expected to be able to handle walkikng to class in the snow (and professors to be able to drive to campus and walk to their classroom building/office. I can promise you, however, that when I was a student, bith my Freshman and Sophomore years we sustained such massive snow accumulation that we did have a couple of "snow days" simply because there was too much snow for off-campus vehicle traffic to move (no professors = no classes). This was in the time before internet/virtual classroom capability. 5. Job Hunting/Career Opportunities: Yes, "most" recruiters coming to ND for conducting job interviews are from major Midwestern cities such as Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, and occasionally other large Midwestern cities such as Minneapolis, St. Loius, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and perhaps Pittsburgh. That's consistent with their "recruiting travel budget." But NOT "ALL" recruiters are from Midwestern cities. I know for a fact that, in the law school, firms from NYC, Boston, Washington D.C., LA, SF, Seattle, Phoenix, and all points in-between come to recruit. And thbey trpically send ND grads who already work for them to do the initial interviewing/recruiting. DON'T get discouraged and don't kid yourself: even for undergrads, there are still PLENTY of opportunities for ND students to land jobs with major employers ALL THROUGHOUT the U.S. -- including California, New York, Texas, etc. -- and even internationally. You don't realize this yet because you're still a student and perhapos you are "too close" to the situation to recognize this reality, BUT NOTRE DAME is an INCREDIBLY HIGHLY PRIZED and SOUGHT-AFTER "BRAND" by MOST EMPLOYERS. ND is every bit as well-regarded and sought after as, say, "Harvard" and similar schools. Moreover, the ND "brand" has THE MOST POWERFUL and LOYAL ALUMNI BASE in the world !!!!! When you're a "Domer" alum, you will ALWAYS have a friend/family member, and you'll always have a job if you want it. Bank on it.
Pro: the extensive national and international network. From Montana to Arizona to South Carolina, you will run into ND alumni/ae. Pro: this one might sound odd, but the campus has a clear, defined periphery. This is campus, and across the street is not campus. I also have a degree from the University Of Minnesota, and it's not so clear where campus ends and the city begins there.
@@wendelswerk it depends what you want. Cali has some expensive schools too. Notre Dame’s network post university is second to none. Having a degree from ND opens doors when job hunting.
I got into ND and won a math scholarship. When i visited, the prospective student leader (a professor) told me not to attend because i answered no to two questions : Are you catholic? Do you love football? I didn't attend because of him and i still regret it. That was 1995 so i imagine things are different now
It snows so much in Northern Indiana because of the lake. It's called lake effect snow. And most of "Michiana" (oh yes, I used that term) gets snow all the time. Just like Cleveland gets snow ... ALL THE TIME.
Thank you for this video! As someone who has ND as their top-choice school and got deferred I'm kinda living vicariously through these types of videos haha. I live in Indiana and have since 2015 so I'm used to the snow, but I definitely see how it would suck to someone not used to the Indiana snow hell (it's supposed to snow 7+ inches tonight T.T). Indiana in general is so stingey with snow days or even delayed starts :( I visited ND in February 2019 haha so it was coooold when I visited (actually I think it was during the polar vortex, I remember working the next week and closing early bc of the weather...), I imagine it was a lot nicer in good weather! I want to ask how safe it is around the areas in South Bend you've been to? When we checked out South Bend the places my family went to seemed kind of sketchy :/
Notre Dame as a campus is pretty safe! I’ve walked around in the middle on and off campus many times and I’ve never felt like I was in danger (even though you probably shouldn’t be walking around alone at night).
wait you just have 180 subscribers? you really need more, i love your simplicity thanks to youtube to show me this video (i need to improve my english because i'm french) 💖
If I had a daughter, I'd want her to have a friend like this young lady. She is so nice, so open and honest. I missed any discussion of academics other than it's "healthy competition". I'd be concerned that in social studies courses like poli sci and sociology, there'd be a clear bias toward leftist politics. I also would like to know if the Catholic influence is very strong - does the college attract a lot of Catholics and would non-Catholics feel out of place? The only major drawback seems to be the snow! Excellent intelligent presentation. Does she feel her education has prepared her for a career, or is she going to grad school for a higher degree?
There are only a handful of universities that skew left with poly sci , and econ. And to be fair when Prof Buttigieg was teaching Economics, he did teach beyond capitalism, and taught about socialism and communism. But the base of virtually all classes is capitalism in college (IMO much to the detriment of creating well rounded students.)
I really loved the video. One thing I was wondering was about the religious aspect of the campus. I wouldn't say I'm an Athiest but I'm also not super religious nor Catholic so would I have a hard time fitting in?
definitely not! there are a lot of religious events and whatnot, but i’m not catholic, and i never feel left out because of it. it is a large part of the school itself, but i would say it doesn’t largely affect the student body
They wont care if you are an atheist. However, if you have open opinions you’ll get blowback from other students in class discussions. But it wont be a big deal.
Hi Lauren, I’m currently in my Senior year of high school and I’m planning on attending a local community college and then transferring to a four year, one of the colleges I’m interested in transferring to is Notre Dame. So I wanted to know, is it almost exclusively companies based in the Mid-West that come to recruit there? I might want to go to somewhere like Cornell but live in a state like Oregon or Washington, I just don’t know if any companies from the West would come to recruit so far away. It’s definitely really stressful not knowing what the future has in store for you, I find myself constantly wondering whether or not I’m making the right decision.
I came here to see if anyone else said the same thing. I think overall, compared to other states, Indiana itself is smaller. So while SB itself isn't necessarily small compared to the rest of the state, it's small compared to the rest of the country. :) Growing up in and around SB, I don't think it's all that small. I've lived in smaller cities. But now that I live in a bigger city, I can see where it is considered smaller.
I really liked this video, thank you! Just wanted to know if you know anything about the graduate housing. Does it has like the same rules than the undergrads dorms? Or does the graduate students live alongside undergrads?
If ur looking for a Catholic (Christian) community ND is a Catholic School founded by the Brothers of Holy Cross. Chapels are in every dorms and Vespers every evening.
Thanks so much for your vedio. i'll go exchange in ND like next year for one sem. and your vedio made me reallllly looking forward to it. I wanna know if it's easy for a vegan to find food there in ND? or is it possible for me to cook at dorm? Thank you again!
@@averykuo3086 You can cook in the dorms-they all have communal kitchens so if you don’t like sharing cooking utensils and pots/pans, that might be the only draw back. As for accessing vegan food, you might be able to find a few options in the dining halls (tofu + vegetables + legumes) but as for things like seitan or nutritional yeast in your food, you probably won’t find that. All in all, I think you can get by with a vegan diet at ND
Hi! ND had been on my mind for around 2 years, and it has been my dream college so far. I am a Filipino moving to Canada, I plan to reside in Canada; however, I want to go to ND, Indiana for college. With regards to applying, I am considered as an international student I guess, what is the process of acquiring for scholarships and where can I access the list of requirements? Currently 15, turning 16 - but I wanted to research at an early age since I know I won't have time when I move to Canada - do you have any advice on the basics of applying for scholarships in ND? Best regards, Alarana. ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ
hi! so from what i know, once you apply to the school the school decides whether you qualify for certain scholarships based on your application(at least that is how they do it for domestic students), but i definitely encourage you to apply to scholarships outside of the school! i’m not too familiar with the process, but i’m sure a lot of googling will help!
i’m not too sure because the rules changed right before covid-19 and then it kind of changed again during covid-19, but i do know that ALL freshmen must me in the dorms. there is a theology major!
You have to live in dorms for three years. Dorm life is everything at ND. Yes there is a theology major. That was my major at ND. The theology program is either ranked #1 or #2 behind or in front of Duke theology from year to year. The theology program is no joke but you’ll be well educated when you finish.
Hello my dear. Just stopping by to say hi. Thought I'd share that my freshman year at ND - room, board, and tuition was $3,600. Yes. I'm no longer a spring chicken. I stayed in Sorin. Had a girlfriend in Walsh. A lovely time in my life. Be well.
If you have any more questions about Notre Dame or college in general, please leave them in the comments!! I will do my best to answer them!
Lauren, Enjoyed your presentation and thought it to be informative. It confirmed what I thought the school would be like, based on what I have heard and read. I’m pleased that you had a good experience there, that you found the school to be a place with a strong sense of community, where you could greet people and when members of the Notre Dame community met, they warmly greeted each other and there’s a warm bond that exists between them, whether current students or alumni or faculty and staff. I was also impressed that you found the other students to be not only easy to approach but that they all had a caring and cooperative spirit, willing to help, rather than selfish and needlessly competitive. Sensing that you are in a place where you are among others who care about you, when you are planning to be there for such a considerable length of time and at such an important point of your life that can do so much to influence you and the course of your life, is a blessing and can enable you to have experiences that will be the basis for cherished and memorable times.
I know the question I have for you will seem incongruous with the preceding comments, but I would like to know if you found the academic atmosphere and classes to be tolerant of students who would challenge, respectfully, and question anything the instructor said or that a student read in assigned reading. I ask this because it is well known that there is a bias at many universities against students who hold traditional beliefs about social matters, and would be considered to be conservative and right on the political spectrum. There are multiple stories of conservative minded people who have been shouted down, protested against, or disinvited or otherwise prevented from speaking. This has happened at Yale, Portland State, Baylor. This anti conservative bias exists with both administration and faculty, and also students at many American universities. I hope that this is not so at Notre Dame. Not allowing anyone to speak to students who are willing to listen and may want to question, is at odds with what my understanding is of what a college education should be and include.

definitely not! there are a lot of religious events and whatnot, but i’m not catholic, and i never feel left out because of it. it is a large part of the school itself, but i would say it doesn’t largely affect the student body
They wont care if you are an atheist. However, if you have open opinions you’ll get blowback from other students in class discussions. But it wont be a big deal.
Being atheist is okay. Enjoy the wild sex and freedom of your own belief
Great video! Super helpful!!
Thank you!!
Hi Lauren, I’m currently in my Senior year of high school and I’m planning on attending a local community college and then transferring to a four year, one of the colleges I’m interested in transferring to is Notre Dame. So I wanted to know, is it almost exclusively companies based in the Mid-West that come to recruit there? I might want to go to somewhere like Cornell but live in a state like Oregon or Washington, I just don’t know if any companies from the West would come to recruit so far away. It’s definitely really stressful not knowing what the future has in store for you, I find myself constantly wondering whether or not I’m making the right decision.
South Bend small?? Its our fourth largest city :(
She must not have seen the rest of the city😂
Compared to the east coast and/or larger metropolitan cities, its considered small.
I came here to see if anyone else said the same thing. I think overall, compared to other states, Indiana itself is smaller. So while SB itself isn't necessarily small compared to the rest of the state, it's small compared to the rest of the country. :) Growing up in and around SB, I don't think it's all that small. I've lived in smaller cities. But now that I live in a bigger city, I can see where it is considered smaller.
Thanks a lot for sharing, I am also applying to ND Law.
I really liked this video, thank you! Just wanted to know if you know anything about the graduate housing. Does it has like the same rules than the undergrads dorms? Or does the graduate students live alongside undergrads?
Graduate housing is completely different from undergraduate housing! I can’t be certain, but I’m sure the rules do not apply to grad students.
Grad Housing was pitiful a few years ago. They built new grad dorms and renovated the older housing. You’ll be fine.
how about Christian community, if we are looking for it at ND? thank you so much.
If ur looking for a Catholic (Christian) community ND is a Catholic School founded by the Brothers of Holy Cross. Chapels are in every dorms and Vespers every evening.
Thanks for this! :)
You might be my cousin, I have a cousin on my dad's side that goes to notre dame, are your parents/grandparents from gangnam?
Thanks so much for your vedio. i'll go exchange in ND like next year for one sem. and your vedio made me reallllly looking forward to it. I wanna know if it's easy for a vegan to find food there in ND? or is it possible for me to cook at dorm? Thank you again!
I’m not a student but I’m a local, and tbh I’d say it’s easy to find vegan options locally
Nice！ thank you
@@averykuo3086 You can cook in the dorms-they all have communal kitchens so if you don’t like sharing cooking utensils and pots/pans, that might be the only draw back. As for accessing vegan food, you might be able to find a few options in the dining halls (tofu + vegetables + legumes) but as for things like seitan or nutritional yeast in your food, you probably won’t find that. All in all, I think you can get by with a vegan diet at ND
Hi! ND had been on my mind for around 2 years, and it has been my dream college so far. I am a Filipino moving to Canada, I plan to reside in Canada; however, I want to go to ND, Indiana for college. With regards to applying, I am considered as an international student I guess, what is the process of acquiring for scholarships and where can I access the list of requirements? Currently 15, turning 16 - but I wanted to research at an early age since I know I won't have time when I move to Canada - do you have any advice on the basics of applying for scholarships in ND?
Best regards,
Alarana.

hi! so from what i know, once you apply to the school the school decides whether you qualify for certain scholarships based on your application(at least that is how they do it for domestic students), but i definitely encourage you to apply to scholarships outside of the school! i’m not too familiar with the process, but i’m sure a lot of googling will help!
Not sure if it’s just me but all the cons seemed like pros🤔
Thankyou very much. I love this video
Well i have some questions
Do all students have to live in a dorm?
Is There any theology major in Notre Dame?
i’m not too sure because the rules changed right before covid-19 and then it kind of changed again during covid-19, but i do know that ALL freshmen must me in the dorms. there is a theology major!
@@lovelaurenyoo great thankyou very much.
Hope soon i'll take the major there
You have to live in dorms for three years. Dorm life is everything at ND. Yes there is a theology major. That was my major at ND. The theology program is either ranked #1 or #2 behind or in front of Duke theology from year to year. The theology program is no joke but you’ll be well educated when you finish.
I wish I went to ND
Same! No way I could have afforded it.
Can I ask what your stats were?
Can you make a video talking about religion there
woah I thought about the cathedral
What is your major?
I'm wondering if this is a good school to go to for pre-med and then medical school.
Did you study abroad? If so, do a video on studying abroad?
Lyons Hall alum!!!
Go Irish!!!
🏈🏈🏈
U in undergrad?
Yes!
@@lovelaurenyoo im thinking bout going there for law school
@@ahmada7333 law school is mediocre. Better choices out there. But its not a bad choice.
Not me having to wait 3 more years
Go Irish!!!

It's worth mentioning that there are a bit too many white people here, so safety is definitely a concern.
Lmao
🤣
How many simps you got there 😑
Hi Cutie
Hello my dear. Just stopping by to say hi. Thought I'd share that my freshman year at ND - room, board, and tuition was $3,600. Yes. I'm no longer a spring chicken. I stayed in Sorin. Had a girlfriend in Walsh. A lovely time in my life. Be well.
