<p>South Bend to Chicago isn’t a bad drive at all…but then again I was from Denver. If you are from the Chicago area then I wouldn’t let distance play a role. It is a change, you just have to decide if the pain of the change is worth it to you as it was for me. Really, I wish I could give you better advice but I would go with the pro-con list…it has gotten me through a lot of difficult decisions and at the end of the day you are the only one who knows if ND is the right school for you as well as if it is worth it.</p>
