Visited Notre Dame during Labor Day weekend and truly enjoyed my time there. The campus is gorgeous…read moreand everyone from students, university volunteers, staff to the President made us feel welcome. During the weekend, we caught the Tennessee State University vs Notre Dame football game (Go BIG BLUE!) - both teams played their hearts out and the marching bands put on an incredible halftime performance (AOB in the House!). The whole gameday atmosphere was electric from vendors on the streets to the alumni enjoying the many festivities! The Basilica of the Sacred Heart and the Grotto were highlights, though I'll admit I didn't fully understand their significance until taking a self-guided tour (which I recorded - so glad I did!). During my tour of the Basilica, I was fortunate enough to witness people gathering in the pews, awaiting the organist's performance. I stayed for the small concert and was completely moved - the music echoing through that sacred space was truly special. You can see the magnificent instrument from the main floor. The entire church interior and exterior with the spectacular dome is a beautiful sight before your eyes. Later I learned the Basilica dates back to 1871 with one of the largest collections of 19th-century French stained glass anywhere. The Grotto is actually a one-seventh replica of the famous one in Lourdes, France, built in 1896. It's a sacred place where visitors light candles for prayer and reflection - an important spiritual landmark that represents the university's Catholic heritage. I lit several candles while I was there, it was a very peaceful and spiritual experience. Some quick tips: *Be careful where you park or you'll get ticketed. There are parking fees too. *Don't miss their bookstore - it's amazing and has something for everyone. The associates in the bookstore were very helpful. *Book hotels early, especially during football season. *There are good grocery stores nearby for room snacks and plenty of restaurants downtown. *Ubers and Lyfts are plentiful if you don't rent a car. *Do a little homework before you arrive so you can plan your day, in other words check the website before you arrive on campus. Knowledge is power! *Wear comfortable shoes - you'll do tons of walking, especially with kids at football games! Absolutely worth visiting for the beautiful architecture, grounds, and rich history that unfolds as you explore and don't forget to check out Touch Down Jesus too! As their fight song goes: 'Wake up the echoes cheering her name!'

Indiana University South Bend is part of the Indiana University system…read more The university started out as a place where "non traditional" students went to school at night while still maintaining a full time job to further their careers. However, with the cost of tuition rising and parents unable to help out, many more traditional students are choosing IUSB for their education. This is seen by the number of building projects over the last 10 years. New classroom buildings have been erected, a student center built and land purchased for the building of dorms. IUSB lives in the shadow of it's more well-known neighbor, University of Notre Dame but has some features which the larger and much more pricey universities do not. Class sizes are small. At state run schools, it is not uncommon to have 100s of students in your introductory classes. This is not the case at IUSB. Even these 100 level mandatory classes are small with about 30-40 students in a class. By the time you have reached your 300 level classes, there are usually less than 10 people in your classes. This makes for excellent student - teacher relationships. The faculty at IUSB is nothing to laugh at either. They have been recognized around the world for their research and teaching abilities. Many of them could be other places but choose to stay at IUSB because of the atmosphere and relationship with students. Worried about further education? Undergraduates in all fields usually have the opportunity to work closely with a professor on a research project if they choose. They have gone to prestigious graduate schools, law schools and medical schools. There is a graduate program too. Another good thing -- if you decide to get out of town, IUSB is the IU system so ALL of your credits transfer!!

I remember freaking out when she was accepted because I know my father would have wanted her to attend. The acceptance letter arrived postmarked on his birthday. It was a message from heaven I couldn't ignore. Reality set in when I had to budget the expense for travel, tuition, room and board and more. My daughter worked in high school and she had to hold a part time job through college and full time in summers. She's definitely the product of a single parent household with no financial support from anyone else! As for campus Notre Dame Stadium is my favorite college football stadium. Since my daughter was a student I attended games. They changed the stadium a little adding seats. I'm partial to the historic stadium. I would watch Notre Dame play anywhere but being in this historic stadium is always spiritually moving. Another campus favorite is the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. It is a historic college landmark. I've been to the University of Notre Dame on many occasions over the years. I've also visited during every season of the year. I always visit the grotto when I tour the campus. Naturally I light a candle for my hearts desire at the time I visit. I remember my daughter's Senior Year I prayed for my daughter to get a job when she graduated! Education is the bottom line including the support the university provides to the students they accept. Whatever assistance you need to pass a required course is available to students. My daughter had a Tudor for her math class. On campus employment is available and definitely job placement after graduation. My daughter applied to have a job mentor in her senior year. Her mentor helped her dress and coached her regarding everything from resume writing to job interview skills including how to dress. I can't count all the blessings and the change in my life because my child has a degree from the University of Notre Dame. I'm definitely riding on her coattails. If you or your child are fortunate enough to get accepted by all means attend and take your studies seriously! You won't regret it.

I attended my freshman year (2023-2024) and had a mixed experience. I really felt that the school…read moregenuinely valued incorporating God into courses. I enjoyed the chapels and learned a lot. There are, however, a few red flags. As the majority of students play a sport at Bethel, as a student who did not I felt that the admin and programs were very biased towards student-athletes. All of the school's money was poured into athletics opposed to academics which is the major reason why I am transferring. They would never tell new students this but their science department, along with other departments such as psychology, as slowly deteriorating. I had several major courses that I was set to take my Sophomore year but no professors qualified and solidified to teach. I felt that this was very hidden from students as I talked to staff personally. I was very disappointed in their lack of honesty. In fact, a prof came into one of our classes to "assure" us that we should stay at Bethel and not worry about the lack of profs for the coming year. Her only "assurance" was that God would provide profs to fill the positions. Despite being a Christian, this does not guarantee that God will provide teachers. I had friends who were still at Bethel and in fact they did not have an in-person professor for ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. All of my friends failed or had to drop the course. Meanwhile, now that it is the Spring semester, Bethel students are in fact commuting to IUSB and paying the Bethel tuition cost for this class. Another factor is the cost of attendance. The cost is NOT worth the actual education/experience. It is crazy to attend a school for 42 k /yr that makes students commute to other local schools to take classes due to a lack of profs. Not to mention the living situations. The freshman female/male dorms are a joke. The rooms are very old and not updated. For the cost of rooming you could easily afford an apartment that is much better quality than the dorms. My door would randomly open almost every day as the lock was bad and despite filling multiple reports throughout the year was never fixed or looked at. The closet doors did not shut all of the way. The paint was chipping off of the doors badly and paint fell from the ceiling onto my toilet every day. I would say the same for many other buildings on campus. I did meet many sweet friends and had great experiences with the profs I did have, but it is NOT worth the money. If you look up recent tax forms for the school, you will see that they are loosing money and in debt which is why few of these issues such as teachers/facilities are not being addressed as they should.

The only teaching assistant they have spends all her time on her phone. When the students ask her to get off and teach them she replies that she is an adult and she doesn't have to get off her phone. The student don't even get all the info need to pass the exams. They told the students they don't have money to hire another teacher. however they just hired a second receptionist. They get after students for having jackets on but they still have the air going and some student's became sick as a result. Don't come to this school you will be paying for a very low education and a horrible experience.
