What’s living on campus like?

QUESTION:

What is on-campus living like for graduate students? Is it similar to undergraduate on-campus resident life?

 

SALMON SAYS:

Notre Dame has four facilities comprising two residential communities for graduate and professional students. (http://housing.nd.edu/graduate/)

While both communities strive to provide the same strong sense of connection and support experienced in our undergrad halls, and are held to the same standards of conduct, living on-campus as a post-baccalaureate student is very different than as an undergrad.  Here are some of the key differences:

  • Students live in individual apartments & townhouses, not dormitories, which allows for greater independence and autonomy.
  • Evening quiet hours are observed all year long to provide an environment conducive to scholarly success.
  • Registered guests may stay with you, with written permission of all roommates.
  • You get to park right outside your front door!

If you would like more information about living on campus, please be in touch directly with hall staff:

Incoming Grad Students & Social Media

Many incoming students have inquired about how to connect with other students before their arrival on campus, and how to find prospective roommates.  Here are a few helpful hints and resources:

Facebook

GSU Facebook Page
The Graduate School Facebook Page
Notre Dame Graduate Student Life Facebook Page 

  • Connect with other grad students, learn about events on campus and get recommendations for fun things in Michiana.
  • Add Notre Dame to your education/timeline, and Facebook can help you find others at Notre Dame.
  • Many academic departments, programs and institutes have their own Facebook pages, too, so network to your heart’s content!
