Spot on. When I was there I would say it was roughly 5%-10% of the kids where you'd look at them and be like... why are you here? Don't know if the percentage is higher now.
What I found is that, overwhelmingly, they had no attachment to the school (not Catholic, not legacy, not a football fan, etc.) and they were there simply because of ND's prestige. And because they couldn't get into Chicago or Penn or whatever their top choice was. These prestige whores were always Left or Far Left and would complain about everything from chapels in the dorms to ND's position on birth control.
The weirdest thing is if you challenged them on "why are you here if all of this information was available to you before you applied and you knew exactly what kind of school you were going to" they would always get indignant and exasperated and not answer the question directly. Make the environment adapt to them versus adapting to the environment... very aggravating for everyone not in their bubble.
But that's enough politics for this thread, only reason I brought it up is that it's germane to a lot of the recent articles covering the outbreak at ND and the quotes that are being cherry picked.
