Undergraduate Community at Fischer

Undergraduate Community at Fischer

Located in Buildings 1-8 in the Fischer Graduate Residences, the Undergraduate Community at Fischer (UCF) is home to approximately 86 male and female sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The apartments in Fischer house two students and feature a private bedroom for each student, one shared bathroom for the unit, and a furnished living and kitchen space. This undergraduate residential community features many of the things distinctive to a Notre Dame residential experience, such as a Rector, Hall Staff, and formation in community with the independent living of apartment-style housing.

UCF is a part of the Fischer complex of buildings located on the northeast side of campus, near Johnson Family Hall. It features a community center for all residents, which includes common social space, laundry facilities, administrative offices, and a chapel. The UCF is led by a Rector, who is a full-time professional staff member living in community with undergraduate students at Fischer. Just like in traditional halls, the Rector is supported by a staff comprised of male or female graduate and professional students serving in the Assistant Rector role and male or female senior undergraduate students in the Resident Assistant role, Priest In-Residence, Staff In-Residence, and the Office of Residential Life.
