All my life, I have lived and breathed UVa; I bleed orange and blue. I mean, afterall, both my parents went there. I've gone to a majority of their season football/soccer/basketball games and stay near there where my grandparents live every so often. I know the campus, and my intended major (Biology/Pre-med) is the exact curriculum my dad went through. I truly love the school.

I also got into Notre Dame. I was just wondering if I'm overlooking anything. These are two great schools and while I feel compelled to select UVa, I wonder whether Notre Dame is the better school socially and academically; whether it is better known nationally or internationally; and whether it is seriously an option I should look into through visits.

I expect a UVa bias but any points or comments will help.

Thanks a lot.
