Residence halls 3re not pet places to live, but also places to make astin f r iendsh ips, to celebrate Mass, to be part of a team, and to learn what it means to be a member of the Notre Pame family. Tine residential life here plays a larger role in the student experience than at most uni ersities. Porms pride themsel es on their signature e ents. While some of these e ents raise money for charities, others are just pure fun. Students often ■ ' ind themsel es doing outrageous things to show their dorm spirit. ITiese can include mud wrestling, dancing in their boxers in front of a full auditorium, or diving into 5t. Mary ' s Lake.

These warm afternoons provide rsre opportunities for both light-hearted con ersations and meaningful discussions with friends. Those who still U3ve to attend classes sometimes succeed in con incing professors to move class outside. Groups can be seen in the m iddle of the quad, by the Grotto, or under the arches of the Sesquicentennial Common next to Pe artolo. While there can be more distractions in these settings, they can also encouraqe a nnore relaxed atmosphere for discussion. O o y
