Gonzaga Hall Welcomes You!

To the class of 2011 on behalf of the Office of Residence Life: Welcome to Fairfield University!

You are about to start out on a life changing experience and our office is here to help make the transition easier for you. This is a very exciting time and I encourage you to contact your roommate(s) to start getting to know each other and discuss what you will be bringing to campus.

I also encourage you to take full use of this blogging opportunity, this is a great forum to reflect on Lucky Child and to get to know members of your class.
