Needs to make a decision: Dartmouth vs Notre Dame

<p>I am assured there is plenty of drinking at ND and they have certainly had their share of controversies as I am finding for every college I google. The protests per se don’t bother me. I went to a school with lots of protests but would like to know if a kid isn’t in a frat, can they have a decent social life or is it greatly diminished at a school like D? Are you considered an outcast?
I went to a huge school that had all kinds. One of my friends was president of her sorority but I wasn’t in one and it was not the predominant scene, so I have no experience of what it would be like to be at a school where it is a much bigger scene. Do the current students feel that the admin is working to improve the areas of concern? From the letters and links we have gotten from D, it seems like they are motivated to make positive change. Are the majority of kids on campus comfortable with how things are being handled?</p>
