i’m currently a highschool graduate thinking of applying to study in norte dame, but i’m nervous since it’s catholic that i may be disliked by the professors and students. I hear that there are some muslims students however i’m not sure how the atmosphere is in notre dame, what do you all think?

hello. notre dame’s verification worksheet asks for “original signature” and says “electronic signatures” are not allowed. does this mean i will have to fill out the form, print it, and then sign it physically?

I saw a recent post about Ron DeSantis speaking at ND. Noticed that it was organized by the Center for Citizenship and Constitutional Government. Took about 2 minutes to see that the CCCG is funded by Tim Busch, the Napa Institute, and Legatus. Not sure if folks are aware or not, but Busch is an archconservative CEO of hotel and supermarket chains who has spent the last decade trying to undermine the economic justice initiatives of Pope Francis by buying his way into influential Catholic institutions like ND, Catholic University, etc. and promoting neoliberal drivel. I hate to think that ND is allowing itself to be bought like this. Just gross.

Car broke so I thought I would take the bus today, now I'm freezing while I wait for an Uber after watching the bus just drive right past the stop. Even called it to transpo to confirm that I had watched the correct bus drive away without stopping. If you come from a city with great public transit, beware the busses.

I am planning on majoring in business analytics, but want to have another major/minors that I would enjoy. I always loved math throughout high school and am debating adding an ACMS or math major. Do people double major in these? If I have never coded is ACMS hard and not beneficial if I already have business analytics? Is pure math really hard and maybe not worth it if I don’t know if I like proof-writing? Are there other majors/minors to look into? Sorry for the long response, I am currently looking to find another interest and am trying to fill out my PATH schedule.

-A confused freshman

Title. I’m currently a freshman and I’m not thriving in my dorm environment/community at all. I want to have the dorm community and family that everyone talks about, but it’s just not going to happen for me in the dorm I am currently in. I want to transfer dorms next year, but I don’t necessarily have someone to pull me in. Is it possible to transfer dorms without being pulled in or floating for a single?

Has anyone applied and interviewed for an internship posting by the Notre Dame Network on Handshake? Are these interviews facilitated by ND people or is it simply just a placeholder for job postings?

Hello all,

I am the (soon-to-be) daughter-in-law of former professor Gerald Bruns, who taught English for many, many years at Notre Dame. We are hoping to find former students who would be willing to write letters including memories, appreciation, etc. as a Christmas present for him this year. Thanks so much!

What are some good and easy courses to take that fulfill an art, literature, history, social science, or integration requirement?

Is it normal to feel lonely during the first semester as a freshman? People aren’t being inclusive toward me and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m always the one asking people to hang out and they aren’t reciprocating it. I’m not in a friend group and everybody else seems to be. Like it’s a Friday night, but I don’t have anybody to hang out with. I’m struggling. Please give me some advice :)!

Hey everyone, I'll be enrolling in Notre Dame's MSA program starting August 2025 and looking for housing. If you are also an incoming grad student interested in finding housing please comment/DM. Go Irish!

Do anyone plan to see the concert by Don Mclean this Saturday in New buffalo?It's about 30 miles away from Notre Dame but since I am an exchange student so I don't have a car.I would appreciate it if I can pay for a ride to someone who also plan to drive to New Buffalo or we can share an uber together if you also plan to call one.

Are the fees for the same for the Summer and Fall start for the Masters program? I applied for Summer 2025 MSBA program (I’m an international applicant) and the website only has the fees for Fall. I am hoping that I am not looking at a massive additional amount. Also as an international student what are the hidden costs that I should be prepared for?

I have a Bachelors in Arts with a major in Business administration and zero coding experience. Should i be worried or start prepping ahead of time? How worried should i be?

I’m a transfer applicant to the College of Engineering, especially the computer science major, and I’m a bit confused about the required course credits needed to transfer. The website says Calc 1, Calc 2, Calc-based physics, and a writing GE, which I have, but for the chemistry requirement, I can do it, but it will be an elective. Also, for the additional requirements for CS (based on the website), it says a rigorous technical science elective, does that need to be a whole other elective, or does the general chem elective I am planning to take count? 

Hello

In April I will be traveling to Indianapolis from Washington State. While I'm in Indiana, I'd like to visit the campus. I don't want to rent a car. What is the best way and economical to visit?

Train? Plane? Thank you

Is anyone in chen’s algorithms class this semester?

I used to be a big athlete in high school for swimming and football but noting near NDs standards even as a walkon. After serving 4 years in the military I still wanted to be involved in a sport and really don’t want to go for club sports. I thought of walking on maybe for men’s crew but even that’s out of my league. A friend brought up cheer because they go to all major sports games and is still a. To put it into perspective I’m a straight 22 year old male veteran. Would it be weird being straight and older on a cheer team?

Hello all. Traveling from New York for the football game this weekend and was told by my cousin who’s a domer to go to Reckers which is unfortunately closed. As a Syracuse grad, I always still had an affinity for Notre Dame. Between the sports and culture, I could always really appreciate it. That being said, Saturday morning I’ll be taking a tour with my sister who has applied here. Where is the best cafe to go to in the morning before we go on a short tour of the campus? Or even lunch. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I’m looking to sublet my 1-bed, 1-bath apartment at The Foundry. The lease runs until August, and I’m offering it at a price lower than what’s listed on the website. If you or anyone you know is interested in a sublet, please DM. Thank you very much! 🙂

Hi I am a prospective transfer who applied to the college of arts and letters as a second semester sophomore. I currently have a 4.0 and I have completed or am in the process of completing all required courses with an A. I am very active on campus in multiple clubs/leadership roles and had an internship over the summer relating to my future career goals. What are the chances I am accepted for the spring?

Do all sports get the ND jacket or is it just football? Or do all sports get it (even the non NCAA ones)?

Hey guys, I applied to ND REA and did not submit my 1410 SAT. I just took the October ACT and got a 32 with a breakdown of 32 math, 33 reading, 29 english, and 32 sceince. I'm also submitting 7 AP scores (3 of which are 5s and the rest 4s) for other testing. Should I update my application to submit this score (I have until the 10th to do so) or remain test-optional for the SAT and only submit the AP scores?

hi! i'm a current high school senior and i'm so excited to apply to notre dame. probably my top choice so far! since it is a largely catholic school, do admissions officers prefer to admit catholic students over protestants? it might be a silly question but i'm genuinely curious. i'm currently nondenominational and looking to convert to orthodoxy soon but i'll be considered a protestant by the time I apply. i also wanted to ask about the general religious atmosphere with all the Christian denominations on campus.

thank u sm !!
