College Prowler Take
Ah, dorm life—finding food in strange places; living so close to your neighbor that you can actually hear them snore; dealing with the constant presence of a roommate’s significant other; avoiding the rector at all costs; wearing a dorm shirt every time you’re out of clean clothes. Students agree that no Notre Dame education would be complete without a stay in the dorms. Freshmen are not allowed to pick either their dorm or their roommates, but the majority feel that the University does a fairly good job in making the final decision. If a student is unhappy with the dorm in which they were placed, they have the freedom to be pulled into another dorm or to move off campus after they reach their sophomore year. There are 27 dorms on campus, and all are single-sex and subject to parietals, which are the only hours when members of the opposite sex are allowed to visit. Of the 27 dorms, there’s really no clear student preference. While the older dorms seem to be favored by some because of their traditions, the luxury and comfort of the newer dorms are preferred by others. Whether old or new, student pride runs rampant throughout the dorms. Students Speak Out

Freshmen do not have a choice on their dorm or their roommate—so, good luck. As a sophomore, you get to pick both your dorm and your roommates. |

I think it is very unfortunate...
I think it is very unfortunate that Notre Dame has single-sex dorms only. Although many students feel that this promotes a sense of brotherhood or sisterhood within a dorm (which it does) and that the dorms serve almost as sororities and fraternities, I think many students feel that it is very hard to make very good friends of the opposite sex. Because of the physical separation, the only time you see people of the opposite sex is at class, in the dining halls, or at parties at night. For this reason, a lot of emphasis is put on relationships and hook-ups instead of building friendships. Personally, I have a great group of guy friends (I am female), but it is hard for me to feel as close with them as they are with each other, because the fact of the matter is that they can be together and live together all the time Even though my dorm is right next door, I have to invite myself over or be invited over, and I also have to leave when parietals (12 on weekdays, 2 on weekends) kick in. For some, the single-sex dorms are a plus and help form great friendships with girls or boys of your dorm. For others, it is a very limiting and annoying factor.

The dorms vary. I got lucky and was put into one of the newest dorms on campus, Welsh Fam. It’s great—our rooms are huge, we’ve got air conditioning, and I ended up with some really great roommates for next year. |

The dorms are the true heart of Notre Dame. I don’t know that there are particular dorms to avoid. You’ll be told that Zahm is a horrible place to live and that it isn’t one of the wildest dorms on campus, but it also has a lot of camaraderie, and the Zahmies really take care of each other. Dillon and Alumni have a lot of history, but their facilities aren’t as nice. |

All the dorms are nice. Zahm,...
All the dorms are nice. Zahm, Cavanaugh, Farley, Alumni and others provide a history and a comfy brick feeling. Knott, O’Neill, McGlinn and others are newer, have air conditioning, and are more modern. |
