Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

Housing

Everyone at Notre Dame lives on campus for the first 3 years. It's only optional for your first year but EVERYONE stays on! It contributes to the whole Notre Dame community. It also makes daily life very very easy when living on campus.

Notre Dame Perpetuates Skewed Gender Relations

The campus is full of students who attended same-sex private high schools, and many of them have lived fairly sheltered lives before coming to college. The gender relations are already extremely weird, and separating the girls from the boys only makes it more so. I would much rather talk to a person of the opposite sex because he was my neighbor than have to deal with the tensions between the genders.
