College Spotlight: University of Notre Dame

On a recent trip to the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, Jodi Glou, President of Custom College Consulting, had the privilege of experiencing firsthand the rich traditions and academic excellence that define this prestigious institution. Home to 8,900 undergraduate students, Notre Dame is not only a tier-one research university but also boasts an impressive 97% freshman retention rate, reflecting its commitment to student satisfaction and success. Academically, Notre Dame offers a wide array of programs across several renowned colleges and schools. The College of Engineering, College of Arts and Letters, College of Science, Mendoza College of Business, School of Architecture, and Keough School of Global Affairs provide students with diverse and robust educational opportunities. The university's rigorous academic standards are further emphasized by its selective 12% admit rate, which takes into account class rigor, grades, GPA, and thoughtful letters of recommendation. Student life at Notre Dame is both vibrant and unique. All students are assigned a random roommate and can live in double, triple, or quad accommodations. Remarkably, 97% of students remain in the same dorm throughout their time at the university, fostering a strong sense of community. The university's over 500 clubs and organizations ensure that there is something for everyone, encouraging active engagement and leadership. Notre Dame's commitment to its Catholic heritage is evident in its extensive faith-based offerings. The university hosts the largest campus ministry in the United States, with 150 daily masses each week. While students are required to take two philosophy and theology classes, these courses do not have to be Catholic-based, underscoring the university's inclusive approach. Notre Dame welcomes students of all faiths or no faith, creating a diverse and accepting community. Financially, Notre Dame is dedicated to making education accessible to all students. It is a Pell Grant-eligible school, practices need-blind admissions, and meets 100% of demonstrated financial need. This commitment ensures that all students, regardless of their financial background, have the opportunity to benefit from the exceptional education that Notre Dame provides.
