Welcome home, Bullfrogs!!

My name is Bridget Duffy and I will be one of your hall presidents this year! I am sure you all are a combination of excited and a little nervous about starting your first year here at Notre Dame- that’s exactly how I felt! But I am so excited to welcome you to the community that will make this transition so much easier. Your home for the next four years. Your friends for the rest of your lives. Welcome to Badin Hall, home of the Bullfrogs!

The Badin community instantly became one of my favorite parts of Notre Dame. I remember feeling overwhelmed on move-in day as reality sank in. I would be leaving the familiar comfort of my home in Alabama. Little did I know that in just a few short weeks, Badin Hall would start to feel just like home. Being the smallest women's dorm on campus, the connections among all residents are truly unique and special. I was constantly supported, mentored, and included by girls in all grades, majors, and clubs. This ability to connect with all residents and form lasting friendships is what makes Badin such an incredible place. This year our mission is to foster these connections both within and outside of Badin! 

I am so excited to meet all of you and to show you the same support that I received as a first year! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions at any time!! Badin is so lucky to have each one of you!

Go Bullfrogs! Go Irish!
Bridget

Hi First Years! Welcome to Badin! I am so excited to meet all of you and can’t wait to introduce you to the best hall on campus! Badin truly is a special place with a supportive and uplifting community. As the smallest women’s dorm on campus, we are tight knit and always willing to lend a helping hand if you have any questions. We come from all over the world with all different majors, minors, and hobbies. Every one of us has a place in the Badin community no matter our background. Badin truly became my home away from home during my freshman year because of the wonderful people I met. I can’t wait for it to become that place for you as you take advantage of all that Notre Dame has to offer. I know that college is a big adjustment for everyone, so if you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out! I, along with the rest of the Badin community, am here for you.

See you at Welcome Weekend!

Welcome home to Badin Hall! We are absolutely thrilled to have you here and cannot wait to meet you. Transitioning to college is a huge milestone, and while it’s completely normal to feel a mix of emotions, know that you are stepping into an incredibly supportive community. Badin quickly becomes a home away from home, and you’ve got a whole building of people who are ready to help you navigate anything. I remember exactly what those first-week jitters feel like, but this community makes adjusting so much easier.
We have so much lined up for this year, from signature hall events and dances to casual hangout nights in the Pond. If you ever need anything I'm always around and down to chat. Get ready for an amazing year ahead filled with new friendships, unforgettable game days, and plenty of Badin pride.

Get excited and welcome to the family! 🐸
