University of Notre Dame is a private institution that was founded in
1842.
It
has a total undergraduate enrollment of 8,477,
its setting is urban,
and the campus size is 1,250 acres.
It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar.
University of Notre Dame's ranking in the 2015 edition of Best Colleges
is National Universities,
16.
Its tuition and fees are $46,237 (2014-15).
Notre Dame is located in South Bend, Ind., just 100 miles outside of
Chicago. Only freshmen are required to live on campus, but most students
choose to remain on campus in one of the 29 single-sex residence halls.
The halls serve as the centers of social life at Notre Dame, as there
is no Greek life on campus. Legends, an on-campus restaurant and pub, is
a popular spot for watching sporting events. The Notre Dame "Fighting
Irish" boast more than 25 varsity NCAA Division I athletic teams and are
well known for their consistently strong football program. Over half of
students study abroad for at least one semester.
Notre Dame is divided into eight schools and colleges, the largest of
which is the College of Arts and Letters. Notre Dame’s graduate and
professional programs include the highly ranked Mendoza College of Business and Law School in
addition to a well-regarded School of Architecture, which offers
undergraduate and graduate programs. Notable alumni include former U.S.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, talk-show host Regis Philbin and
Hall of Fame football player Joe Montana. The 1993 film "Rudy," ranked
one of the top 25 sports movies of the past 25 years by ESPN, was
filmed on Notre Dame’s campus and depicts the true story of Daniel
"Rudy" Ruettiger, who overcame many obstacles to play football at Notre
Dame.
Notre Dame offers undergraduate students an educational experience that
is second to none in quality and, at the same time, distinctly Catholic.
Faith informs learning at Notre Dame, and the University's students are
urged to turn their learning to the service of others. The community
life of the highly residential campus is distinctive, but Notre Dame
also ranks in the top 10 in the percentage of its students who study
abroad. Its graduation rate is among the top 5 in the country and its
alumni are celebrated for their loyalty.
