Just how strong is ND academically?

<p>Hey, guys, we’re ■■■■■■■■! I, for one, wasn’t aware, but I guess you just can’t argue with someone from the Toughest Ivy, because he probably knows his stuff. </p>

<p>Also, can I borrow someone’s thesaurus? I’m an English major, but I’m so woefully unprepared by my meager Notre Dame education that I just can’t seem to process some of the really big sounding words getting thrown around. I think Cornell is arguing about something, and I expect there’s a rather strong undercurrent of derision running through all of them, but frankly, he’s just WAY TOO SMART AND WELL EDUCATED TO UNDERSTAND! JEEZ LOUISE!</p>

<p>So, who’s happy with their Notre Dame education, raise your hand? Who feels it’s academically challenging? Who is perfectly content with its national reputation for excellence and longstanding tradition in the Liberal Arts (as well as Catholic identity, social activism, and football)? And, (this one is for those students who are lurking and garnering information about ND and other schools from these posts), who is impressed with the lucidity of argument, general politeness, and helpfulness of basically everyone on this board representing Our Lady’s great University? </p>

<p>Yea, me too.</p>
