Sorin Hall, nicknamed Sorin College,[2] is the oldest of the 32 residence halls on the campus of the University of Notre Dame and one of the 17 male dorms.[3][4][5] It is named after Fr. Edward Sorin, C.S.C., the founder of Notre Dame.[6] Sorin is located directly north of Walsh Hall and is directly south of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Sorin houses 143 undergraduate students. Sorin Hall is, along with other buildings on the Main Quad of Notre Dame, on the National Register of Historic Places.[7][8] Sorin Hall was the first Notre Dame residential hall established as such, although St. Edward's Hall is housed in an older building.
