Advice to Freshmen: My advice to Freshmen is plagiarized from Wiz Khalifa "work hard, play hard". Find that balance. Meet new people.

Hometown: Gurnee, Illinois
Major: Mechanical Engineering
What I like best about Morrissey: Although the rooms are small, you form a great community with the rest of the guys in Morrissey because you don’t spend too much time just hanging out in your room. You end up chilling in common rooms and in the center lounges.
Random Fact: A Fathead of Clay Matthews was put up in my common room and it took all of my energy to not rip it down and put up a Brian Urlacher one over it.
Advice to Freshmen: It can be difficult to find time outside of school work, but if you don’t procrastinate and manage your time well, try to get involved in activities in Morrissey and around ND. This gives you the opportunity to meet people both in your dorm and around campus.

Shadmn Minir
Hometown: Mount Holly, NJ
Major: Chemical Engineering
What I like best about Morrissey: Morrissey's best quality is the tight brotherhood that is forced upon its residents, with an open-door policy required in order to breathe and find SOME space in the broom closets we live in allowing for close friendships and bonding with guys from all over the nation and the world.
Random Fact: I'm a brown guy from the East Coast that's not a guido, not Italian, and not smelly. Take it or leave it.
Advice to Freshmen: Slow frosh year down! You're eventually going to get trapped into a routine at college and all the days will blur together which may or may not be good for grades. However, when you look back in retrospect, you'll see how much stuff you missed out on doing because you focused on work too much! Stop and smell the roses and go out and do all the crazy stuff this University offers every single day, there is always something to do.

allow everyone to interact. Morrissey is also conveniently located by the dining hall and the
