A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:

The University of Notre Dame was founded in November 1842 by Edward F. Sorin, a
priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross, a French missionary order. It is located adjacent to South Bend, Indiana, the center of a metropolitan area with a population of more than 300,000. Chartered by the state of Indiana in 1844, the University was governed by the Holy Cross priests until 1967, when governance was transferred to a two-tiered, mixed board of lay and religious trustees and fellows. Notre Dame always has been heavily residential, with about four in five undergraduates living on campus.
