<p>What are the names of the residency halls at Notre Dame? Are there certain reputations that each have? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Hey I was just wondering, do most/ all female dorms have sinks in the rooms?</p>
<p>Yes, all of them that I can think of had sinks.</p>
<p>How big are the freshman rooms, usually?</p>
<p>Some of them are small enough that your parents will have shock they are paying that much for a closet. Never seemed to bother my S at all though.</p>
<p>the newer the dorm, the bigger the rooms. I stayed overnight in Keough and the rooms were very good size, but older dorms can be crowded.</p>
<p>As some other people have said, newer dorms tend to have larger rooms, on average, as their room sizes are uniform. Older dorms tend to have smallewr rooms, at least for freshmen, but with seniority comes better choice(i.e. quads, etc.). The only exception I can think of is Carroll, which is a bit out of the way but is 103 years old, is the smallest dorm, and has the largest rooms on campus (It used to be a seminary).</p>
<p>Freshman rooms are small, in many cases, but with seniority comes larger rooms because of room picks as well as a lot of seniors that move off-campus. Yes, your parents are likely to be surprised at size of rooms-given the amount that is being paid! Many of the rooms were meant to be singles!!!</p>
<p>it is important to note that while the older dorms are smaller, they do have a lot more traditions to them, so it is a trade-off</p>
<p>I definitely like the idea of dorm traditions, so I think I would be willing to live in a small room as long as it wasn’t unbearably tiny. I also like the chapels in the older dorms a bit better.</p>
<p>what are the odds of freshmen making carrol? I really really really dont wanna end up there! haha. Since its all random its got me all paranoid now</p>
<p>carrol is a male dorm, right… just wondering.</p>
<p>Most rooms have sinks… not all do. Since ND had a housing shortage, many dorm study lounges were converted to dorm rooms. Those rooms do not have sinks but the vast majority do. Also, those converted study lounges are likely to be converted back since Ryan Hall should be opening shortly. Many guys dorms converted study lounges should be converted back by now with the opening of Duncan Hall</p>
<p>Carroll Hall is a male dorm. It tends to be very quiet. Not many other students “drop by”. It does sit off by itself at the edge of campus. My son lasted one year then transferred to be closer to campus. He made great friends and defintily enjoyed his time there. The walks/bike rides to class in the winter were brutal! Fr. Jim also is probably another main reason it is a quiet hall. He is head of the Alcohol and drug abuse program on campus and can be found greeting students occassionally at the door/hallways on their way back from other parts of campus on late nights. Its not for everyone but for some it is a fantastic dorm. Good luck</p>
<p>just wondering, how often/common it is for students to change dorms. i don’t imagine that i would, but was just wondering if it completely uncommon to change dorms after freshmen year.</p>
<p>Our student does not know of anyone changing dorms–more of seniors moving off-campus occurs rather than students changing dorms. Plus, more of our student’s friends shifted to singles if not moving off-campus, but they have remained in the same dorm in singles (if that makes any sense!).</p>
<p>yes that makes sense and thanks for the info.</p>
<p>My son has known several to transfer from Carroll to another dorm on campus. One being an athelete,(football) it was just to far to get to practice/training, and tranferred after the first semester. I think the tranfer rate is unique to that particular dorm basically due to the location.</p>
<p>There are many students that transfer halls; interhall transfers only occur between semesters. You must be pulled into a dorm by a current resident and you have to have approval from both your current and new rector.
