Notre Dame’s campus is mostly outside the city of South Bend; thus the students can’t vote in municipal South Bend elections.
That said, the Petester is a real stain on northern Indiana.
I would still gather that many students live off-campus within the boundaries of South Bend.
Recently made my first trip to South Bend.
Aside from a few gentrified blocks in the downtown area in general it reminded me of my time in Flint, Michigan.
Just what are they going to do with that abandoned College Football Hall of Fame anyway?
