“I got a 99% match!” After the Marriage Pact’s release of ideal pairings, campus has been buzzing as students who participated in the survey decide whether or not to reach out to their matches. With over 2,400 participants, the Notre Dame Marriage Pact was clearly a sensation, adding suspense and excitement to the lives of

A universal part of the Notre Dame experience is students’ strong feelings concerning the dining halls. Whether you prefer the comfy booths of North Dining Hall or the classic wooden tables of South, allegiances run deeply. Regardless of opinions on dining hall superiority, we can all agree that the dining halls are often sites of

Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this article said the ice rink opened on March 23 when it actually opened on March 13. The Observer regrets this error. In an email sent late January, College President Katie Conboy announced Saint Mary’s students that a skating rink was on the way. The email talked about “Winter Wonderland”

I still remember where I was, anxiously awaiting to see which of the 29 dorms I’d been chosen to live in, a dorm that would begin to define me in just a few short months. Being new to Notre Dame, I had saved one of the free campus maps in my bedroom for this exact

“A gift from Joseph A. LaFortune, the Student Center is the most visited building on Notre Dame’s campus.” At least, this is what the University’s website says.
