ABOUT NOTRE DAME -

 The University of Notre Dame (www.nd.edu), founded in 1842 by a priest 
of the Congregation of Holy Cross, is an independent, national Catholic 
university located at Notre Dame, Indiana, adjacent to the city of South 
Bend and approximately 90 miles southeast of Chicago. Notre Dame is 
rated among the nation's top 25 institutions of higher learning in 
surveys conducted by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, 
Kiplinger's and Kaplan/Newsweek. The University ranks in the top 20 
among all American colleges and universities in size of endowment 
(approximately $2.8 billion).

 Notre Dame ranks as one of the nation's most selective universities, 
joining Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Dartmouth, Brown, MIT and 
Rice as the only schools that admit fewer than half of their first-year 
applicants and enroll more than half of those who are admitted. 
Sixty-five percent of incoming first-year students were in the top 5 
percent of their high school graduating classes.

 The University offers a wide range of cultural events hosted in the 
new, state-of-the-art Marie P. DeBartolo Center for the Performing Arts 
(performingarts.nd.edu) and the venerable Snite Art Museum 
(www.nd.edu/~sniteart). Notre Dame's athletic programs are world 
renowned and consistently place in the top 10 annually for the 
prestigious Director's Cup for overall athletic performance, while 
maintaining one of the nation's highest graduation rates for 
student-athletes.

 With 1,250 acres containing two lakes and 136 buildings, Notre Dame is 
well known for the quality of its physical plant and the beauty of its 
campus. The Basilica of the Sacred Heart, the 14-story Hesburgh Library 
with its 132-feet-high mural depicting Christ the Teacher, and the 
University's newly renovated 124-year-old Main Building with its famed 
Golden Dome are among the most widely known university landmarks in the 
world.

 REGION -

 The Michiana area has many amenities, woodlands and lakes, and enjoys 
a four-season climate. Few locations in the Midwest offer such ideal 
conditions for work, study and recreation. The greater South Bend and 
Mishawaka area offers an abundance of diverse cultural events, museums, 
movie theaters, shopping malls, coffee houses and parks. South Bend has 
its own symphony orchestra and a minor league baseball team, the Silver 
Hawks. There are great restaurants, the College Football Hall of Fame, 
and the East Race Waterway, just to name a few attractions. Chicago is a 
two hour drive to the west and Indianapolis is three hours to the south.
