Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

When you and your desk, bed, drawers, clothes, and other furniture are forced to share a 14x14 space with another person, you’re bound to get cabin fever unless you eventually leave your room. Thankfully, students feel that Notre Dame offers a number of high-quality student facilities which are as nice to look at as they are to frequent. With three different locations and an appeal to both serious and casual exercisers, the athletic facilities are ranked first in popularity among the students. Despite some complaints about a lack of variety and social space, the LaFortune Student Center comes in second with its collection of restaurants and a mini-convenience store.

Student praise for the athletic facilities, the restaurants and cafés, and the second floor study area of the Hesburg Library helps to offset the complaints about the minimal space at the student center. Overall, the variety, number, and condition of Notre Dame’s facilities earn excellent marks.

Beautiful Campus

The campus is incredibly beautiful, and there are wonderful places to walk around campus. Many of the buildings are old but they are functional and in good condition. The student center is on the small side but has many comfortable places to hang out. There are 2 workout facilities for students, and 1 main library.

Traditional but Great

The facilities are very traditional feeling but at the same time fit every need of the students, adding to the feeling of tradition on campus. They don't feel mass produced, and every building has its own character.

ND Facilities

The library at ND is really nice--not much to look at from the outside, but large with plenty of study space on the inside. The student center is decent; not many food options, but a good place to meet with friends and get coffee. The gyms are nice--Rolfs is definitely better, but the Rock is fine if you just want to get your work out done. The general campus aesthetics are beautiful; Notre Dame is a gorgeous campus.

Facts

Favorite Things To Do

Attend a multicultural event, attend an event sponsored by a dorm, check out a dance, go to Acoustic Café on Thursday nights, hang out in the student center, hang out at a campus restaurant/café, watch a SUB-sponsored movie, play or relax on the Quad, or work out.

When the weather permits (which is less than half of the year), you will find many students throwing a football, tossing a Frisbee, or just relaxing out on one of the quads. The 9-hole golf course on campus is also a favorite while the weather is warm. The student body’s favorite late-night spot is Reckers’ Café located behind the South Dining Hall. It is open 24 hours, 7 days a week and is especially popular after Parietal hours. The LaFortune Student Center is also a popular spot at all times of the day.
