<p>Reiterating what Chris said, parietals apply no matter if you are on or off campus. People get in trouble every fall and spring break for this. However, it is usually because they got in trouble with local authorities for drinking or somehow the university became aware of it. If the university isn’t aware of it, then you are in the clear.</p>
<p>just curious…as nice as i can put it, i’ve heard the attractiveness of the girls at ND is subpar…is this just a myth haha?</p>
<p>This kind of concerns me because although I mean I’m not gouing to do anything, it is the principle that matters. I love Notre Dame, but some aspects just seem restrictive.</p>
<p>to tfeduardo12, when I first came here last fall I heard the same thing, but in reality while the girls are not as attractive as schools in warm climates year-round (like in the south and the west coast) I still feel that the attractiveness is better than subpar. The uggs and sweatpants/sweatshirts combination during the cold weather doesn’t help but the other weekend when the weather became warm again I was pleasantly surprised at how many attractive girls there were lying out on south quad. Also there is St. Mary’s (all-girls school) pretty much right next door.</p>
<p>haha thanks chris im just wondering. not that it would have ANY significant impact on my decision…if i get in hahaha…its funny b/c i love winter/cold weather way more than warm weather but i hate those stupid uggs that girls (including my sister) wear haha but whatevs its a just another trend</p>
<p>Hey, Uggs are very warm!!!</p>
<p>im just a type of person who wears tees and shorts, occasionally jeans, all winter haha i dont get it besides the 20 minutes on average that i’m outside all day im inside at school/home…where its warm</p>
<p>HOW TO BRAK PARIETALS:</p>
<p>-RAs are more lenient in general in guy’s dorms.
-Close the door of the room (and lock it) about half an hour before parietals.
-Keep the door closed.
-Opposite sex should talk softly after parietals so people in the hallway don’t hear them.
-If you try to leave after parietals, make sure you plan your escape so that you can take the shortest route to an exit or a 24-hour space. Check the hall before you make the mad dash.</p>
<p>If you don’t mind the risk of getting caught, then those might be useful tips. It’s my understanding that most students respect parietals whether they completely agree with them, or not.</p>
<p>^I have heard that some people spend almost every night in their boyfriend/girlfriend’s dorm, but like Balthezar said, I don’t know of many people who break them</p>
<p>I have a lot of cousins who would like to come and visit me while I’m at Notre Dame, but some of them are girls. Would the only way for them to be able to stay on-campus be to have them stay with a girl friend of mine, or do they ever make exceptions for family?</p>
<p>They can stay with you, but if they’re caught you and they will be burned. This rite is performed on the South Quad (and they say there’s no entertainment in South Bend!). It’s perhaps a better idea to have them stay in women’s dorms, where they no doubt have other rituals that are beyond the imagination of us males, but not fatal.</p>
<p>Just have to say my D is a freshman at ND and she is drop dead gorgeous. She would never wear Uggs or sweatpants. In fact she has a thing for very sexy shoes. You guys of ND have probably seen her, blonde and brilliant.</p>
