We spent part of a day walking the campus. Were here in April, so you might expect mild weather. Not so that day. Very windy, snow and sleet. Spent most of our time in the Hammes bookstore to get out of the elements. There are so many visitors, people are in the parking lots helping find a spot. Short but... More

We visited the campus of Notre Dame this past weekend. We made sure to get to the visitor's center before it closed on Saturday so that we could see the film on the history of the school since we knew nothing about it. It was very informative. We were not able to take a guided student tour as this is... More

This is amazing with many items not... More

We loved everything about the University ND. It is one of the most beautiful colleges in the USA. The surrounding area has a few book stores, Starbucks etc.

Loved the University and particularly the church. It is well worth the visit BUT, be advised, it is difficult for handicapped people. If you can ask nicely, the guard might let you through, but he reminded us that it is a pedestrian college. Excuse me? That really irked me. Frankly, I found the staff there to be snooty, like they... More

Not many special architectures, the The Golden Dome and the Basilica of Sacred Heart are the most special one. There are also lakes, but we didn't have time to take a look.

If you are in the area I would stop by and enjoy the campus. Especially in the months when the leaves are on the trees.
