Notre Dame or Colby?

Trust me, I’m not “shocked.”. Takes a little more than that to shock me. It’s just that I would say the Asian population at both is, percentage-wise, probably comparable. My son’s roommate this year was Asian and I do know they have a very active Asian student club. As for the academic quality, yes, no question a solid liberal arts education is offered at Colby – but I’d have to give the edge to ND in terms of both academics and certainly, the overall college experience. They are both VERY different atmospheres. In terms of academic prestige, I’d have to give the nod to ND. While Colby is a known name in the NE area (I know, I’m from here), it just doesn’t carry with it the name recognition, either nationally or internationally, that a degree from ND holds. At more than $50k a year for each of these schools, I’d want the most name recognition on that degree that I could get.
