Great Times
A good amount of bars and clubs are in and around South Bend. Club Fever and Club Landing are two of the more popular destinations. One or two more clubs would raise this grade, but all around, great times are close and convenient.

Res-Life BS
Notre Dame allows some great Dorm parties for the younger crowd, and I enjoy the single-gender dorm set-up. Parietals (No-one of the opposite sex allowed in your room from 12AM-9AM weekdays, 2AM-9AM Weekends) are strictly enforced and I find this rule to be over the top.

The Most Unique College Experience
Notre Dame has the most tradition based campus atmosphere in the country. Legends have walked in the same halls you visit every day. A great experience that will give you memories for a lifetime.

Lack of a True Student Union
Notre Dame lacks a true student union, only having a small building with Subway, Sbarro, and Burger King. The reason this grade is so high is the aesthetics. Notre Dame is one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. More/modernized gyms are needed and the main library needs a major overhaul.

#2 in the Country
Rated #2 in the country recently, Notre Dame's dining halls are the best. Flank Steak and shrimp on occasion.

No Ethnic/Wealth Diversity
There is virtually no diversity at Notre Dame, and ND uses what little diversity there is to advertise the presence of "diversity". Many students have been brought up on their parents' dime and have never had to fend for themselves.

Wayyyy Tooo Expensive
Notre Dame is at over $50,000/ year and their financial aid office does not help too much in contributing to the economic diversity of the student population. They treat you like a number and there is virtually no human consideration given to specific situations.

The Best
Although the football team has not been elite in some time, fan support and the varsity athletic facilities are world-class.

Many to Choose from, but Still Somewhat Limited
A full Computer science program is lacking as well as the seat availability for many classes.

Available, but Dorms Are Competitive
Many off-campus housing options are brand new and affordable.

Cabs Are Plentiful, Buses Are Free
Rides off campus are cheap via cabs. Downtown South Bend is a 25 minute walk off campus. Cabs are 7-10$ to the airport and the bus provides a free option to get to the airport. Many students have never used public transportation before and do not understand how to properly get around. If you take the initiative to know the town and the transportation options, you can get anywhere for free.
