“One key factor in my decision to attend Notre Dame was the incredible academic opportunities. I entered college unsure of what I wanted to pursue, but the programs I joined helped me explore various interests and discover my passions. Notre Dame met me where I was and has supported me every step of the way. Each day, I am challenged to pursue what I believe in and continue growing.”

“Doing research abroad sounds daunting. But my professors and upperclass mentors encouraged me to apply for an undergraduate research grant in London during my freshman summer. Doing research abroad has taught me essential skills to navigate the world, from arranging logistics for an international trip to adapting to new cultures and finding community amidst unfamiliarity. Above all, it taught me to be independent without being alone: I knew that my Notre Dame connections would always be here to support me.”

“I never dreamed I’d attend Notre Dame, let alone travel to places like South Korea, my top bucket list destination, where I witnessed history unfold. Through classes, global experiences, and meaningful conversations, I’ve come to pursue my dreams, grow in heart, mind, and body, and share my story as part of a greater purpose.”

“Being a Brazilian student who had never been to ND before the first day, it was a little overwhelming. I had very little idea of what I wanted and what path was right for me. As I met more people, I realized that my choices would appear naturally in this environment, and the people around me would help me go forward. Today, I know I want to be an entrepreneur and improve myself in different ways.”
