I live 3 miles from this EXCELLENT university. I went to Trinity a local all male catholic high school, & know of 5 guys the I graduated with, & who graduated before me went to this exceptional institution. They're doing great. Now I do not attend Bellarmine for a few reasons 1. I didn't score high enough on the act 2. When I could be the poster child for ADHD that doesn't help either. 3. I decided to follow the family tradition, & go drive the big trucks. Nonetheless if I could calm/settle down a little (if that makes sense) this would be the first place I would enroll in.
The military academies will always be the best post high school education. Bellarmine, Norte dame, & Princeton for me are on the same level of course two have the big name, but for me I'd rather have a small local institution that has a great reputation, versus a big name. As for the other Ivy's like Yale, & Harvard I've delivered close to them both, the only way I can put it is they both have a whiff of old fart, & the yacht club prick about them.
if you do come to visit the campus definitely check at bearnos pizza mama bearnos, or super mama bearnos. If burgers are your thing WW cousins, local BBQ bootleg, or mommas in st Matthews. Nicer dining would be aspen creek, j alexanders, pats steakhouse. Then within 60 miles of campus you can find the bourbon trail if that's something that interest you, & Lexington has the horse farms. In spring Churchill downs has downs after dark it's a really good time.
