Hall Portrait from Notre Dame Magazine!

By Tim Dougherty '07

Notre Dame Magazine Spring 2007 Issue  

 

Hall Portrait: Pasquerilla East

Year Built: 1981

Capacity: 250 (currently overloaded at 268)

Male or Female: Female

They call themselves: Pyros. In the 1980s, they called themselves the Purple Elephants to match the hall initials. The

name was changed to the Pyros in an effort to claim the title of "hottest dorm on campus."

Named for: Frank and Sylvia Pasquerilla. Their donation marked the largest ever to the University by a living person

and funded the construction of Pasquerilla East, its sister dorm Pasquerilla West, and the Pasquerilla ROTC building. At

the urging of then-President Father Theodore Hesburgh, CSC, a reluctant Frank Pasquerilla allowed the buildings to bear

his name. Mr. Pasquerilla, who died in 1999, was a Notre Dame trustee and chairman of Crown American Realty Trust;

he received an honorary doctorate of law from Notre Dame in 1982 and contributed money to construct facilities on the

campuses of at least three other universities.

Distinguishing Features: P.E. is the mirror image of Pasquerilla West, as the original plans called for the two L-

shaped dorms to be connected by a shared chapel. When that plan was dropped, a common space in P.E. was converted to

Saint Catherine of Siena Chapel. As a nod to its relationship to P.W. -- and to prevent confusion among U.S. Postal

Service employees -- P.E.'s four floors are numbered five through eight. Also, the two Pasquerillas were the first dorms to

have air conditioning.

History Made There: Rector Breyan Tornifolio took over for Sister Mary Ann Mueninghoff, O.P., in August 2006. In

1997, P.E. resident Kelly McGann '00 (now Bell) started Pasquerilla East Musical Company (PEMCo), Notre Dame's first

student-run theatre group. Though PEMCo is open to students from any dorm, P.E. still hosts rehearsals from November

until the show's performance in February. Over the years, PEMCo has performed such Broadway classics as Grease,

Guys and Dolls and West Side Story. In 2002, PEMCo started the annual musical revue "A Night on Broadway." More

recent performances include Seasons of Love and The Producers. PE currently has another new rectoress, Sr. Cindy

Broderick, OP who will begin her first year as a Pyro along with the class of 2013 in the fall.

They Lived There: Beth Ann Fennelly '93, author of Open House, winner of the 2001 Kenyon Review Prize in Poetry

for new poets; Mariel Zagunis, junior, Olympic gold medalist fencer currently on leave of absence to train for the 2008

Olympics.

Traditions: One fall Saturday every year, each section in P.E. competes in the PyrOlympics. After choosing a coherent

costume theme, the sections duel each other in contests such as seeing who can come closest to touching the index finger

of No. 1 Moses or singing like a banshee in LaFortune. Three years ago P.E. began Silent Night, Silent Auction, a

December event that raised $1,500 for Charlie Weis' charity Hannah and Friends. Items up for bid have included

autographed footballs from quarterbacks Brady Quinn '07 and Joe Montana '79, whose daughter Elizabeth lived in P.E.

Hey Pyros!!!

We, Sara Gbadamosi and Julia Zanotelli, are your Freshman Orientation Coordinators! We are so excited to welcome you as the newest Pyros to our Pasquerilla East Family! Congratulations on being a part of the best and HOTTEST girls’ dorm on campus!

We have put together this booklet in order to hopefully ease some of the stresses that come along with moving away from home. We have given you a list of things to remember in your packing, as well as those that will take up more space than they’re worth! Make sure to look through the “Domer Dictionary” so that you’re comfortable with the nicknames of buildings and some of the random things that go on around campus. Talk with your roommate or roommates before coming, so you can figure out what things you can share (such as TV or fridge) so that you have room all the things you need! Also, remember that there are plenty of stores around Notre Dame to buy things that wouldn’t easily fit in your car or on an airplane.

The Frosh-O staff will be the first people to meet you when you get to campus and move in. They are all so eager to meet you and show you why they love Notre Dame. Be sure to read through their bios on the website and become familiar with their faces. Some of them will be living in your section!

Remember to bring your $85 room tax to check-in, it can either be cash, or a check made out to Pasquerilla East.

Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we look forward to seeing you soon! Feel free to email us or any of the other girls if you have any questions.

Sara Gbadamosi ([email protected])Julia Zanotelli ([email protected])

P.S. Stuffed animals are totally acceptable in college, just make sure they can fit in your bed!

Top Ten Reasons Why You Live in the Hottest Dorm on Campus

10. We are one of the few dorms who can welcome you with AC and an elevator. Moving in has never been so convenient.

9. Your dorm is only 13 years older than you.

8. We have our own sand volleyball court. It’s a great place to show off your skills (or to watch the shirtless guys who want to show off their skills for you).

7. We’re near the Geddes Hall home of CSC (service!), North Dining Hall (yum!), the parking lot (vroom!), the post office (send!), the library (book it!), and the ROTC building (men in uniform!).

6. Our closest female competition is Pasquerilla West, and guys would much rather hang out with a pyromaniac than a purple weasel.

5. PE has a history of having the best rectoresses on campus and some of the most amazing ARs and RAs!

4. We have a sweet view of the beautiful Stepan Center. (Once you get here, you will understand that this reason is dripping with sarcasm.)

3. Rumored to have four sublevels underground, PE is the only dorm with floors numbered 5, 6, 7, & 8.

2. The dorm is small enough to feel as tight-knit as your mom’s crocheted blanket, but large enough to meet new people all the time. It’s juuuuuust right.

1. The people! Pyros are known for being super friendly and totally hot! We can’t wait until you join the “Pyroship” this fall!

FROSH-O MEMORIESFrosh-O was such an experience for me because it was a

culmination of what I had been working for so long. Both my parents are Notre Dame alumni, and I remembered at the Freshman mass right before they left, the ND band played

the alma mater. For my mom, my dad, and I all to lock arms and sway to OUR alma mater was a really powerful moment we shared. I won’t lie—none of us had dry eyes. Later on,

some PE girls and I went to the grotto real late at night. Walking around campus with these fantastic girls made me feel so at home—because I was. I told them now that I was

at Notre Dame I had no more goals. The outburst stuck, and even today we still joke about it!

I loved when the guy dorms came around to our dorm to serenade all of us. A lot of them were really shy and the

frosh-o commissioners from the guy dorms were acting crazy grabbing girls hands and singing on their knees. It was

corny but a lot of fun and then of course we got to do our signature P.E. dance to Donna Summers’s “Hot Stuff”…one

of my favorite things about Frosh-O!

I think my favorite part of Frosh-O was actually the down time between events. While all of the activities are fun and

memorable, I liked the time when the only “scheduled” activity was meeting your roommate, neighbors, and

section-mates. Aside from my roommate, I met some of my best friends when they came to our room for food, since they

hadn’t bought any yet. Friendships can be formed over granola bars!

THINGS THEY FORGET TO TELL FRESHMEN

You will stand up for the whole football game, every football game. (You get to sit at

halftime!)We suggest the appropriate foot attire.

The Huddle’s quarter dogs are the best deal you will ever get for your money spent at Notre

Dame.

You will immediately have extreme dining hall pride towards either North or South. (This

dining hall pride will most likely not affect your decision to steal a tray to go sledding on in the

winter.)

Caution: People here are ridiculously friendly, and what’s more, it’s contagious. Symptoms of

friendliness include, but are not limited to: opening doors, smiling, and giving salutations. Friendliness is not perilous and is benign, but is

frequently contracted to the most severe extent.

Shoes in the Shower15

The residents above chose to keep her room in the original setup and just decorate from

there!

Feel free to be creative with your room! Some girls choose to have

themes or a color scheme that they use throughout decoration in their room! Pictured below is the middle room in a quad, the common space.

601-626 = 6A 701-726 = 7A 801-826 = 8A627-651 = 6B 727-751 = 7B 827-851 = 8B

Bunking your beds is a great way to free up extra space for a futon, couch, tv stand, or any other

furniture and accessories you want for your room.

Each room comes with two built in wardrobes, and a sink with a lamp

and mirror The dimensions for each double are

10X14The dimensions for each quad are

Chicken Soup for the College Soul: Inspiring and Humorous Stories About College by Jack Canfield , Mark Victor Hansen, et al

You've never done this before. You can't even come up with some neat comparison to a past experience to make you feel less awkward. It doesn't help that everyone else is doing it, since it's because of them that you have to do it in the first place. Suddenly you have to accept this totally backward behavior as if it were logical, from now on, no end in sight.

In college you wear shoes in the shower. You are halfway across the country living by yourself for probably the first time. Your childhood seems like it's over. You are surrounded by people you don't know, from places you've never been, who probably all have athlete's foot. Your dorm room is supposed to be the same one you saw on your college tour, but you know it's smaller, colder and uglier than the one you saw when your mom was with you. You walk in and are standing in front of a girl you've never met, who you will have to live with all year. She is dressed differently from you and is from a state you've never visited. You probably have nothing in common. No amount of protective footwear is too drastic under these circumstances.

The first few days are like a dream. The shower continues to be the testing ground for your ability to adapt to these conditions. You are sure that everyone but you has figured out how to shave her legs in these small cubicles. You glance wistfully at the people in the hall wondering who could possibly fill in for the best friend you left at home, in whose bathroom you could always go barefoot.

You cry yourself to sleep a couple of times and find yourself counting the days until Thanksgiving. What were you thinking? The state college thirty minutes away would have been just fine, probably much safer. You call home and tell your parents how homesick you are. Sure, you went to that party

Saturday night, which was okay, but surely they understand that that's nothing compared to your misery. Your parents say "Give it a chance" so often that you become convinced that they are putting the phone down next to the family parrot and walking away.

But after a while, the Shoeless Night happens. It comes to everybody, sooner or later. Perhaps for you it is a midnight McDonald's run with some girls on your floor and a post-McNugget conversation, way into the night. Your fear of various foot diseases begins to fade somewhat. You might actually like some of the girls.

You might still cry yourself to sleep that night, but something's changed. For a few hours, you got to remove the mythical shoes from the feet of your soul. Because the important thing about The Night is that it is followed by Other Nights. The night of party hopping is preceded by a two-hour primping session with the same girls, before piling far too many of you into one car. The night of stealing other halls' furniture together allows you to let them see you in the morning after an "I'm too tired to wash my face" night.

Eventually, when you need to cry (because you still might, for a while), you find yourself walking down the hall to someone else's room instead of getting on the phone to your parents. When you do call them, all you can talk about is that girl down the hall who understands everything you say and listens so well. Your parents are thrilled and begin teaching the parrot to say, "That's great, Honey!"

One night while standing at a party you turn to your friend and say, "Are you ready to go home?" Then you realize you're referring to your dorm, that place that seemed so cold and ugly the first week. Well, they must have turned the heat up, or repainted or something. You still wear shoes in the shower, but you and your friends know it's just because of those people on the next floor.

A Short Notre Dame HistoryOriginally written by: Patrick Belton ‘98

Deep in the heart of the American Midwest lies a school dedicated to the Mother of God.The men who founded the University first called the school L’Universitie de Notre Dame du Lac.

On November 26, 1842, they came to a ten-acre clearing in the Potawatomi wilderness. It was the coldestwinter on record and they had only three hundred and ten dollars in cash, several horses and an ox. On the

site were two frozen lakes, a mantle of snow and a twenty four by forty foot log cabin built by an earlymissionary named Rev. Badin. Rev. Edward Sorin, C.S.C. and his seven companions looked around them,

consecrated the site and declared it a University.

Rev. Sorin wrote his superior in France, “We made haste to inspect all the various sites on thebanks of the lake which had been so highly praised. Yes like little children, in spite of the cold we wentfrom one extremity to the other.” (Thus starting a tradition of running around the lakes, which many ND

students enjoy doing.)

Despite financial hardships and a cholera outbreak in 1854, Notre Dame grew and flourished. Asister school, St. Mary’s Academy (now College), took root nearby under the guidance of Holy Cross

sisters. Rev. Patrick Dillon took over as Notre Dame’s president and constructed a new Main Building tohold classrooms, a library, a dining hall and dormitories for both students and faculty. The left wing of thebuilding, then Carroll Hall, was home to the prep school students; the right, then Brownson Hall, housed

students of collegiate age. The youngest students (“minims”) lived in St. Edward’s Hall.During the Civil War, Holy Cross priests and sisters frequently served as chaplains and nurses,

respectively. Among the chaplains was Rev. William Corby, C.S.C. who won the love of Irish-Americansas chaplain of the Irish Brigade. From 1866 - 1881, there were four University presidents: Rev. Corby,who served twice, Rev. August Lemonnier, C.S.C. (Rev. Sorin’s nephew) and Rev. Patrick Colovin,

C.S.C.

In April 1879, wood shavings that construction workers had left behind on the Main Building’sroof ignited in the sunlight and the university burnt to the ground. Rev. Corby was serving his second

term as the president at that time. Hearing the news, Rev. Sorin broke short a visit to Montreal, returned toNotre Dame and gathered everyone together into the church, which was one of the few buildings left

standing. “Tomorrow we will begin again and build it bigger,” he said. “And when it is built, we will puta gold dome on top, with a golden statue of the Mother of God, so that everyone who comes this way willknow to whom we owe whatever great future this place has.” Helped by the students who stayed over the

summer, Rev. Corby rebuilt the school by the beginning of the fall term.

In the next decades, under the administrations of Rev. Thomas E. Walsh, C.S.C., Rev. AndrewMorrissey C.S.C., Rev. John W. Cavanaugh, C.S.C., and Rev. James A. Burnsand, C.S.C., the watchful

eye of Mary’s statue on the dome (a gift from St. Mary’s College) the University of Notre Dame became aschool of national prominence. Academics became more solid; the prep school was closed, the school was

organized into four colleges and faculty qualifications were stiffened. Rev. Julius Nieuwland inventedsynthetic rubber and Rev. Albert Zahm, C.S.C. conducted aeronautic research that helped lead to the first

airplane. In 1883, Notre Dame gave its first Laetare medal to John Gilmay Shea in honor of anoutstanding American Catholic.

Rev. Matthew J. Walsh, C.S.C. (not related to Rev. Thomas Walsh) and Rev. Charles L.O’Donnell, C.S.C., served as presidents from 1922 until 1934. During Rev. O’Donnell’s term, Notre

Dame built new dining halls and the original Notre Dame Stadium.

Rev. (later Cardinal) John O’Hara, C.S.C. proved a capable leader as he built up the school’sendowment, recruited scholars from overseas, and urged students to be Catholic gentlemen - at one pointpurging the library of impure books. Under Rev. O’Hara, Notre Dame hosted such renowned lecturers as

President Roosevelt and Cardinal Pacelli (later Pope Pius XII).

During World War II, President J. Hugh O’Donnell, C.S.C., gave a great deal of the campus overto military training. Over 15,000 soldiers were trained here, with the result that American troops often

sang Notre Dame’s fight song while marching. After the war ended, President John J. Cavanaugh, C.S.C.,(not related to the earlier president John W. Cavanaugh) oversaw the construction of Vetville - a large

housing complex for the undergraduate veterans and their families. Notre Dame’s enrollment increased bynearly sixty percent after the end of the war.

Dr. Tom Dooley, who died in 1961, was a Notre Dame graduate of the WWII era. He spent hislife serving the poor in Southeast Asia. His memory is still quite alive at the University and it is possiblethat he will be raised to sainthood in the Catholic Church. There is a statue of him a copy of the letter he

wrote to Rev. Hesburgh by the Grotto.

Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C., who led Notre Dame from 1952 to 1987, oversaw considerableexpansion in the campus and in the endowment. In this period several new institutes were established,

faculty qualifications and salaries increased and the Program of Liberal Studies Major was introduced. In1967, influenced by the Second Vatican Council, the Congregation of Holy Cross transferred ownership

and control of Notre Dame to a predominantly lay Board of Trustees, requiring only that the school’spresident be a Holy Cross priest. In 1972, women undergraduates were admitted for the first time.

Rev. Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C., completed his 18th and final year as president of the Universityof Notre Dame on July 1, 2005, after serving as the University's 16th president. The campus has continued

to grow under his leadership. In 1997 four new dorms opened up forming West Quad (Welsh Family,Keough, O’Neill and McGlinn). The Main Building has been reconstructed inside, and the Hammes

Bookstore at the Eck Center, the Eck Visitors’ Center and Rolfs Sports Recreation Center were built in thelate 1990's. Other buildings that have opened up since 2000 include the Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C. Hall,the Coleman Morse Center, the Marie P. DeBartolo for the Performing Arts and the Hammes-Mowbray

Hall.

Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., was elected President of the University of Notre Dame by the Boardof Trustees on April 30, 2004, and became the University’s 17th President on July 1, 2005. He served theprevious four years as vice president and associate provost. In his inaugural address, he concluded with

the following, “With respect and gratitude for all who embraced Notre Dame's mission in earlier times, letus rise up and embrace the mission for our time: to build a Notre Dame that is bigger and better than ever –a great Catholic university for the 21st century, one of the pre-eminent research institutions in the world, a

center for learning whose intellectual and religious traditions converge to make it a healing, unifying,enlightening force for a world deeply in need. This is our goal. Let no one ever again say that we dreamed

too small.”

This is the history of the University of Notre Dame - the tradition of which you are now a part. Wewelcome you, thinking of the words with which the Basilica ends in St. Patrick’s Day Mass: “Deamfaidh

siblise fos nios fearr,” Irish lines that say “You will do even greater things.”

(Some information from this history was obtained from some University of Notre Dame’s web sites)

Lyrics – Notre Dame Victory March

Rally sons of Notre DameSing her glory and sound her fame,

Raise her Gold and BlueAnd cheer with voices true:Rah, rah, for Notre Dame

We will fight in every game,Strong of heart and true to her name

We will ne’er forget herAnd will cheer her everLoyal to Notre Dame

Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,Wake up the echoes cheering her name,

Send a volley cheer on high,Shake down the thunder from the sky.

What though the odds be great or smallOld Notre Dame will win over all,While her loyal sons are marching

Onward to victory.

Lyrics – Notre Dame, Our Mother (Alma Mater)

As one final unifying act before leaving the stadium after a football game, students both past and present join arms and sway to the Alma Mater. Like the Fight Song, the Alma Mater will serve as

an eternal reminder of your time spent at the University of Notre Dame.

Notre Dame, our MotherTender, strong, and trueProudly in thy heavens,

Gleams thy gold and blue.Glory’s mantle cloaks thee

Golden is thy fame,And our hearts forever,

Praise thee Notre Dame,And our hearts forever,Love thee Notre Dame.

computer to Notre Dame, although it is not an admission requirement. We currently have a 98% connection rate in the residence halls.

2. What kind of computer should I bring? You may bring any type you prefer. Macintosh or Windows machine as long as it meets the minimum system requirements. You can find those requirements and other helpful information online at http://oit.nd.edu/start/specs.shtml

3. Which type of computer is better for me to bring, a laptop or desktop? This is a matter of preference. However, there are many places on campus which have network connections (ResNet connections) and many wireless connections are lighting up frequently. These options may be attractive to someone who prefers to work away from their room. Of course, there is also limited space in residence halls for a desktop computer making a laptop more convenient.

4. What do I need to connect to the network? You will need an RJ-45 cable and an Ethernet card. An RJ-45 cable is a specialized cable used to connect to the network. You don’t have to purchase the RJ-45 cable before you come to campus~ If you’re not sure what to look for you may purchase one from the Solutions Center when you arrive. An Ethernet card is a card which allows a computer to connect to a network. Most new machines come with one already installed, but verify with your vendor before you make your purchase.

5. Can I purchase software on campus? Yes! As a matter of fact, you may want to do this when you arrive. Notre Dame has an agreement with Microsoft in which students can purchase many Microsoft titles at reduced prices. Microsoft Office and many other software titles are available from the Solutions Center, Notre Dame’s computer store conveniently located on campus. You can find more information at http://solution.nd.edu/microsoft.html.

6. Can I purchase hardware on campus? Yes! You can purchase Ethernet Cables (RJ-45). Ethernet Cards. Computers, and many other accessory items from the Solutions Center. Notre Dame’s computer store conveniently located on campus. You can find more information at http://solution.nd.edu/

7. Where can I get an RJ-45 Cable? You may purchase an R.J-45 cable from the Solutions Center, Notre Dame’s campus computer store, when you arrive on campus. Learn more about the Solutions Center at http://solution.nd.edu/

8. What do I need to know about connecting to the network at Notre Dame? Everything you need to know about connecting to the network at Notre Dame can be found at http://oit.nd.edu/network/oncampus.shtml. These pages are updated with new information as it becomes available.

9. What is the most important thing I should do with my computer before I come to campus? For those with windows machines, make sure you have all the latest critical updates installed, in addition, ensure that you have your Windows XP firewall turned on and if you have anti-virus software, make sure it is current.

10. What if I can’t bring a computer? That’s okay! Notre Dame has multiple computing clusters (labs) on campus open various hours of the day to suit your computing needs. To review the equipment available in the computer clusters, visit http://oit.nd.edu/clusters_classrooms/cluster_information.shtml#GtoM.

11. Do I need a printer? That decision is up to you. You may find the need for a printer will be determined by how and where you work. If you work mostly in your room, a printer

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat’s the weather like?The weather in South Bend is pretty unpredictable. The early fall is usually pretty hot and humid, so bring your shorts! But you’ll definitely need sweaters and a jacket by the end of September so don’t plan on leaving all of your winter clothes at home until Fall Break. Bring a few with you at the beginning of the year just in case. The winter gets cold, so boots are good to have. Snow starts in November and might not stop until May. Springtime is hard to plan for because it can be hot and sunny or rainy and cold. Remember, a “warm” sweater or jacket in California might not cut it in the Bend.

What if I need money?You can open an account in South Bend. The Notre Dame Credit Union has a branch conveniently located in the basement of LaFortune. If you just need fast cash, there are several ATM’s spread over campus, and NDCU can cash personal checks for students.

What meal plans are available?You have two choices: the 21-meal plan or the Flex 14. We’re sure you can figure out that the 21-meal plan is three meals a day; so for you early risers who need breakfast to function, this might be the plan for you. Those of you who would rather sleep those extra 30 minutes might opt for the Flex 14. It provides…you guessed it…fourteen meals, which you can divide among the week however you like, and then $330 in flex points each semester, which can be used at all of the cafés around campus. Starbucks, Burger King, and the Huddle Mart (convenience store in LaFun). The points can also be used at Reckers, the 24-hour eating area located behind South Dining Hall.

What if I get sick?When a couple of aspirin won’t do the trick, you can go to the Student Health Center. It’s right behind the Dome, between Keenan Hall and Lewis Hall. It’s open 24 hours, and if they can’t treat you there, they’ll take you to Memorial Hospital.

Where should I go with questions about my classes?In addition to your First Year of Studies Advisor, upperclassmen are a great source of information! Remember, we’ve been through it all.

What does my advisor do?Your advisor can help you with just about anything. If you’re having trouble with a class, a professor. a project, or anything academic-related, they are there to help. They’re also available just to talk if you need it. If you decide you want to change your major, or don’t have a class you really need, your advisor is a great help. They also assign a student advisor to meet with you and answer any questions you might have.

Should I send my picture to the Freshmen Register?Definitely! The dog book is fun to look through, and it’s a tradition at Notre Dame. You get to know people by sights and they get to know you. Plus, it’s very valuable when looking for prospective dance dates! (Ask the Frosh-O Commissioners to tell you their stories!)

What is an SYR? And do I have to find a date?!?!SYRs are fun dances that each dorm sponsors every semester. SYR’s move to different locations around campus, and are always a blast! SYR stands for Screw Your Roommate, meaning that you set your roommate up with a date, but some people don’t do this and find their own date. It’s fun either way! You and your date will buy each other a small ($2) gift and dance the night away. It’s a good idea to bring a fun, short black dress that you can wear to any SYR you might be asked to. But dances usually have themes, such as PE’s “Pyros of the Caribbean” theme where everyone dressed either as pirates or Caribbean beach-goers. No matter the theme, everyone has a great time!

How will I get around?The easiest way is to ask an upperclassman with a car. They usually are more

than willing to make a Meijer run.The South Bend bus service, Transpo, will take you to the mall or downtown. It

stops at library circle several times a day and is free to ride with a student ID or 75 cents each way for everyone else. You can get a schedule at the LaFun info desk. Cabs are also available for about 2 to 6 dollars. In this book we’ve included information on using the bus for the mall and what stores are at the mall.

If you want to get to Chicago (for shopping or the airport) the South Shore Railroad leaves from Michiana Regional Airport. Providing passenger service to the Loop in downtown Chicago three times a day, the South Shore ride lasts about two hours and costs about $16 dollars round trip. Amtrak offers service from 2702 West Washington to New York and Chicago. From its station, in Niles. MI, Amtrak offers service to Detroit and Chicago.

If you plan to fly out of Chicago during the year, United Limo Service makes the trip to both Midway and O’Hare every two hours. Travel time is just under 3 hours, and is $56 dollars round-trip. Michiana Regional Airport is just across town and is serviced by American Airlines, Continental Express, Delta, Northwest, United Express, and others. Several major bus lines serving South Bend, including Greyhound, have terminals at the airport as well.

Freshmen can’t have cars on campus first semester, but if you’re in good academic standing, you can have one for second semester.

What if...?We know that you’re going to have way more questions than just these. Just ASK. Approach any upperclassmen; they’re more than happy to help. And honestly, we’ve seen just about everything!
