<p>My son had a good friend who was a first-generation college student from a single-parent family in the South Bronx. He LOVED Notre Dame (he is also a serious Catholic). I’ll just toss this out for your consideration – when your son is using his accounting or finance degree in the workplace, he won’t necessarily be surrounded by “brothers.” Notre Dame may well give your son a better preparation for his professional life than a college that is more self-consciously “diverse.”</p>
