A biggie is next week we have a huge activity night that everyone really should go to regardless of your year. All of the clubs are there and it is a great way to find out what Notre Dame has to offer and get involved, and through that involvement meeting others.

As for the actual dorm, there aren’t a whole lot of dorm events that are going on right now (unless you live in Dillon, but that is another story). However, most of us have our doors open and introduce ourselves to the new guys, so slowly but surely we are meeting the freshman. As time goes on there are dorm events and several dorm dances, so those are always helpful.

Long story short, I don’t know that there is all that much going on right now, but it will happen as time goes on. With orientation I am sure that a lot of the freshman in my dorm know each other, and it will just grow from there as they are accepted into the dorm. For my dorm, we have small things like a table that we all sit at (if we choose, don’t have to) and nightly Mass so there are a lot of ways to meet the rest of the guys. There are also dorm intramurals which start here really soon and that is a great way to get to know others.

I hope that kind of answers your question. Nothing really big going on, but don’t worry, your children will find their place as long as they are trying to.
