University Visits - Notre Dame

Reeve and Doug took off for a bit of college touring.  The first stop was after an early-morning departure was to South Bend, Indiana and visit Notre Dame. 

Truly an impressive chance to get a view of such an iconic campus.  Among the many, many impressive things of the tour - lots of varsity athletes, including team captains.  A focus on "good kids" and a bit of a surprise (though it shouldn't be) that so much of the student body is made up of Catholic students (80% was it?).  The alumni network, the focus kids who will help each other and support each other, the insanely positive 4-year graduation rate were among the positive experiences.

We also had a wonderful tour guide  - and realized that those with the personalities and flamboyant introductions ended up with bigger groups - so easy to switch to someone (a delightful math major) who could answer our questions and tell about this historic campus. 

 Truly, a beautiful campus - and with 8000 undergraduates (I think), quite an intimate university experience, it seems.

 The iconic (and beautiful) view of "Touchdown Jesus."
