Welcome Week



Welcome Week can be an intimidating time for many first years as you face one of the biggest life changes yet. In Dunne we will strive to make this transition as smooth as possible and to help you quickly make your first new friends, find you way around campus, and discover what it means to be a Notre Dame student and a Dunne Hall Sentinel. Please enjoy this video from your Welcome Week committee!


Rooms and Dorm Layout

Dorm Layout

Dunne Hall opened in the fall of 2016 on the northeast quadrant of campus, along with McCourtney Hall and Flaherty Hall. Approximately 71,000 square feet in size, it houses 221 men in its inaugural community of residents. Student rooms include singles, doubles, quads and six-person rooms, divided into six sections: 1N, 2W, 2S, 3S, 3N, and 4th floor. The first floor also includes a reading room, study areas and the chapel, dedicated to Blessed Basil Moreau, CSC. Dunne also boasts pass-through floor lounges on the second, third and fourth floors, designed to encourage gathering in community. Resident assistants are positioned at the entrance of each hallway, looking out upon the whole of the section.

Freshmen in Dunne are typically placed in doubles with their random roommates.
