Residence Hall
Knott Hall

“I have spent more than half my life living in residence halls. Not only has it been one of the fruitful aspects of my own personal ministry as a priest, but I have long felt that the residential mission is the defining characteristic of the Notre Dame undergraduate experience and the most important manifestation of Holy Cross’ charism in Catholic education."
