I'm kind of embarrassed to ask this, but can anyone tell me what town Notre Dame University is in? I've been trying to look it up for some time now, I swear. Also, how big is the city surrounding it?
No need to be embarrassed! The University of Notre Dame is located in Notre Dame, Indiana, a small-state town. It's just north of South Bend, the larger city nearby.
South Bend is relatively moderate in size with a population of a little over 103,000. Despite the city's moderate size, it offers a variety of amenities and opportunities, from performance arts venues to arts and music festivals and more.
The University of Notre Dame has a well-connected campus environment while still being in proximity to the resources that a city like South Bend offers. So, you'll get a balance of a closed and intimate campus life with access to the broader city experiences.
