Sorin Hall

Sorin Hall is one of the 29 Residence Halls on the campus of the University of Notre Dame and one of the 14 male dorms. Sorin is located directly north of Walsh Hall and is directly south of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Sorin houses 151 undergraduate students. Its distinctive turret rooms on the four corners as well as its pure nobility distinguish it from all other campus buildings. Sorin Hall is also the location of "The Quint," one of the largest rooms at Notre Dame. Sorin Hall was the first dormitory built at the University of Notre Dame and is named in honor of Fr. Edward Sorin, CSC, who founded the University. Construction of the Hall began in 1888 and the hall opened in early 1889. The structure as it exists today was completed in 1897 with the addition of two wings. In its early years, Sorin housed Notre Dame's law school. Sorin's chapel is dedicated to St. Thomas Aquinas. Notable former residents include former coaches Knute Rockne, Moose Krause, and player George Gipp. All four of the famed Four Horsemen of Notre Dame ( Harry Stuhldreher, Don Miller, Jim Crowley, and Elmer Layden) lived in Sorin Hall for at least one year during their college careers.

  • Maria Ly is quite literally a Rock Star. You’ll often find her hanging off a 5.13a grade rock climbing route, she is the rock star co-founder of Skimble (which is incubated by Rock Health), and you can find her rock formation photography featured in Outside Magazine.

  • March 13, 1988 was the day we moved to America. Although it wasn't my first time in the country, that date was the beginning of my journey through the American school system. Those eleven years filled me with a lifetime of great memories.

  • Mayank is an inventor and zebra-enthusiast. He developed Stripespotter, a biological barcode scanner for zebras, and is a part of the team behind Facebook insights. By way of India to Oman to the US, Mayank can be found behind the wheel of a red Porsche dreaming up his next big idea.
