The students, staff, and faculty of ND are incredible. Mass at the Basilica is something I will remember for a life time. We visited many of the places you mentioned, but missed Badin's cabin.<br />Must return.<br />Go IRISH<br />F. O'ConnorF.

My family makes a visit to ND at least twice a year from the Denver area, with one being for a football game. Each and every year it its a treat. However, I've never made it to Tippecanoe Place. Gonna have to try that for a brunch.

I have to admit that I am spoiled by living here in town and having ready access to everything that the campus and city have to offer and it was refreshing seeing what I take for granted through the eyes of someone who is not so blessed.<br /><br />As a Band Alum., I would have to add our biggest hangout, Parnaby's on Grape Rd. in Mishawaka as a must visit place for food. I am a bit hurt though, that you didn't list stopping by to visit me over by the Special RV lot on a football Saturday as a must see campus point of interest! :-D<br /><br />Good Luck!

Great list of must-do items. I'm going to have to get up for a hockey game or something. You really made me wanna be on campus... I agree with Garrett - the people are the best of any campus I've visited. You really painted a great picture (and great sounds too)!Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264208512657025123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934552505175123151.post-32332708863708981652011-12-02T18:27:37.899-05:002011-12-02T18:27:37.899-05:00I *may* substitute Yesterday's in Granger for ...I *may* substitute Yesterday's in Granger for Tippecanoe on the strength of their desserts alone, but a solid list.<br /><br />Possibly outside the scope of your article: the people.

Jon Bon Jovi directed the band during a game break. Chicago performed with the marching band at halftime. Mike Golic returns to his alma mater frequently. Rudy and Regis are regular visitors.

I would have to agree with you about your favorite things about Notre Dame: the Grotto, Basilica, the Golden Dome, and all the people you meet at Notre Dame. I am going to have to check out Corby's the next time I am in South Bend.<br /><br />The atmosphere at University of Notre Dame is really like no other university in the nation. It is an experience.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your article with us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934552505175123151.post-82889582063705509042011-11-28T18:19:25.010-05:002011-11-28T18:19:25.010-05:00This is an AWESOME article Lisa!!

I have been there many times and it's always been a moving experience.<br /><br />I think ND should use portions of your article to advertise and promote the University :) <br /><br />This by far is one of the BEST ND articles you or anyone else has ever written. GREAT job!! GO IRISH!! And good luck in your Biggest Fan Of The Big East quest. You have my vote :))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
