Is Lyons Hall the best dorm at Notre Dame?
Students rated Lyons Hall a 3.5/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.
Lyons Hall builds character honestly, in a good way I think. Plus it’s the only dorm featured in Rudy! The community is great and the rector is absolutely lovely (love you K-Lion 🫶). It is on the far side of south quad which makes the trek to classes a little longer, but it’s right by the beautiful St. Mary’s lake and it has a beautiful arch. The chapel is absolutely gorgeous and unlike no other. It’s also a short 2-min walk from the better dh, south dining hall. It’s right by the Rock (a gym), though the dorm does have its own little gym that was just renovated, and it has a beach volleyball court right nearby. The only complaints I have are that there’s no AC, no elevator, and it’s on the older side so the rooms are smaller and very clearly old. It’s live-able but compared to other dorms, you’d be questioning why you pay the same amount for room and board. Even with its flaws, I can’t help but stay for at least the required three years! Go lyons!
