The difference between parietals and hate

If two Notre Dame alumni meet, it is almost certain the first question they ask each other is, “Where did you live?” Notre Dame’s residential living is a major attraction, and is unique among most other universities. Parietals have been in existence since the admission of women in 1972. An excellent apology for parietals was written this week in The Observer, so I won’t repeat it.
