A Smick’s First Thoughts on the Duncan Student Center

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Saint Mary's chapter.

Being a senior, I realized the majority of the time I only go to Notre Dame for sporting events and to study. That being said, I found a new study spot at the Duncan Student Center. Here are my first thoughts of this new addition to the Notre Dame stadium:

1. What is that amazing smell?!

 

The student center has three dinning options on the first floor: Star Ginger Asian Grill and Noodle Bar, Modern Market, and Hagerty Family Café.

2. They used the old football stadium seats as decorations!

What a great idea to incorporate the history of Notre Dame football into a modern building.

3. Do the wooden stairs remind anyone else of the movie “The Internship” staring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson?

I’d also be down to see a flash mob preform or watch a movie on the big screen across from the stairs…is that just me?

4. Rock climbing is free for students?

How come I haven’t come here everyday? New goal in life: become an avid rock climber.

5. I think I found my new favorite study spot at Notre Dame.

 

This definitely beats the fish bowl.
