(Except from BC graduates who can't cope with that fact.) The location and weather are lame excuses for picking an inferior institution. I hail from South Florida and was raised in what most people would consider paradise weather. I wouldn't trade my ND experience and degree for that at any other school anywhere, let alone one with butt ugly colors like yours. BC may not house as many ND wannabes as it used to, and admittedly your football team has caused us some problems and won some big games, but to put the two schools in the same league (beyond both being Catholic) is absurd. You should have gone to Brown. Oh, and you shouldn't try to be an authority on a school you only knew existed when you chose to apply to BC. The movie Rudy was filmed over a number of weeks including football weekends. A significant portion of the movie was filmed during the famous Snow Bowl game where the Irish came back last second and beat Penn State. BC got any historic games like that (other than the few when they beat ND)? Maybe Penn State should have been an option for you. Very similar to your school as the only time anyone hears about it is when you play Notre Dame. Sucks to be so second rate huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590563175371858529.post-42679206203940038652009-10-23T12:05:43.119-04:002009-10-23T12:05:43.119-04:00The propensity in South Bend to think that deep do...The propensity in South Bend to think that deep down everyone really wants to go to ND is endemic, and I believe if you check admission records you'll find BC has more crossover applications with Harvard and Georgetown.<br /><br />The students there love to taunt BC students with "Backup College", and BC students chant back "middle of nowhere". The reality is that a large proportion of BC undergrads are from the East and West coasts, wanted a more urban location, and never really gave serious consideration to spending four years in the middle of Indiana.<br /><br />ND is fine school, but I sincerely doubt the assertion that many undergrads at BC wanted to go there. Personally my choice came down to BC and Brown and I opted against Providence. I knew Notre Dame existed in the same sense that I knew Penn State existed, but thought of applying to a school that remote never crossed my mind.<br /><br />And by the way, Rudy was filmed at halftime duing the 1992 BC game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590563175371858529.post-44054877011146665802009-09-21T09:09:18.839-04:002009-09-21T09:09:18.839-04:00Two sisters I knew from high school wanted to go t...Two sisters I knew from high school wanted to go to ND but one was rejected and the other wait-listed.

But after not getting into the two schools I was legacy at and getting into ND where I had no family connection, it was sort of a no-brainer. Looking back four years later, I can't imagine having been anywhere else.
