For the Incoming Freshmen

  
 
   

Before you do ANYTHING!! A few very important documents.

- Notre Dame Victory March and Alma Mater
- Domer Dictionary

- A Letter from Father John
- The President's Letter



      Welcome Freshmen (and visitors)! Allow me to welcome you to our illustrious domicile. During the next few years, Siegfried will be your home. Oh, the camaraderie of it all! Anyhoo, you probably need to know a few things before moving in, eh?Like bed sheet sizes, dimensions of the room, how and why to loft... the list goes on ad infinum.

  • Room size: 12' x 14'
  • Mattress Size: 36" x 80" (buy long sheets)

      Freshman cannot loft in the first semester, and very few loft in the second semester since the lofts in Siegfried are not modular.

   So what should you bring?

  • Clothing
    • Summer clothes
    • Fall/Winter clothes
    • Light jacket(s) / winter coat(s)
    • Suit/tie
    • Pajamas or ratty shorts for lounging about.
    • Underwear

          Note: Some say its a good idea to bring a few sweaters with you but leave your heavy winter clothes at home. When you go home for fall break you can switch your summer wardrobe with wintry items. Siegfried's closets, however, are big enough to fit people in... so the choice is yours.


  • Bedding (sheets, pillow, etc)

  • Shower supplies (soap, towel, wash cloth, shampoo, FLIP-FLOPS, bucket)
