FIRST-YEAR RESIDENCE HALLS
Residency Requirement
All entering students, of traditional age, need to declare their
status as a resident or commuter through the Enrollment Reservation
Form sent by the Office of Admission. Those not commuting
from home are required to live on campus during their first two
years. This policy also applies to those who transfer into
the university as traditional first year students. Commuting is
defined as living exclusively in the permanent and primary residence
of a parent or legal guardian.
Once a student establishes his/her status as a resident, he/she
must seek approval for a change of status to commuter. Formal
requests can be made through the Office of Residence Life for consideration
by the housing contract review board.
Room Assignment Process
In general, room assignments for first-year students are made based
on the date his or her housing deposit was paid. Roommates
are matched without consideration of housing deposit date. Roommate
pairs are then assigned to a room based on the earliest deposit
date between the two roommates.
We will place students in the building of their
preference, based on their deposit date. When the building
is full, we will maintain a waiting list for those students who
did not make it into that building. If a room opens up in
that building, we will contact the next roommate pair on the waiting
list and offer them the opportunity to move into that room.
Murphy Hall
Established
in 1964, Murphy Hall is named after Fr. William J. Murphy, S.J.
In 1936, he was appointed faculty moderator of athletics. By
1941, his 11th year at John Carroll, he was moderator of the
band, prefect of Bernet Hall, moderator of the Carroll Union,
and Dean of Men. In spite of all his duties he still found time
to play the violin. In 1964, Murphy Hall allowed 400 sophomore
and junior men to live on campus instead of in homes in University
Heights. It included a small chapel, main parlor, recreation
and television room, laundry and storage areas for all residents,
as well as nine suites for counselors and a chaplain. It was
the fourth major addition and the largest to John Carroll since
1957. Murphy Hall brought the total of students residing at John
Carroll to just over 1,000. In the fall of 1969, 48 rooms were
set-aside for women to live in. This was the first co-ed residence
hall. It was dedicated on October 10, 1964.

Pacelli Hall
Pacelli
Hall was built through the efforts of Father McCue and modern
language professor Dr. James Peirolo, as well as from donations
by the Italian-American community of Cleveland. The hall is named
after Eugenio Pacelli, otherwise known as Pope Pius XII. Pope
Pius XII was the first pope to visit Cleveland in 1936. Before
being named Pacelli, the university had to obtain special permission
from Rome to use the pope's family name. Upon being properly
named, Pacelli Hall became the first college residence hall to
be named after the pope. Pacelli Hall was the third men's residence
hall and the second post-World War II addition to the university.
Finished in May and dedicated on September 7, 1952, it consisted
of 109 rooms, providing occupancy for over 200 male students.
Today, Pacelli Hall stands as the only all-female residence hall
on campus. Inscribed above the front entrance to the hall are
the wise words of Pope Pius XII "The Work of Justice is
Peace," inspiring the students who walk through its doors
to follow the Jesuit tradition of service and justice.

Sutowski Hall
As
John Carroll University approached the end of its first hundred
years and began looking toward its second century, an increased
number of students opting to live on campus became an obvious concern
to university administrators. Stable enrollments over the years
had been the norm, but an increased enrollment in the early 1970s
-- during some years as much as 50% -- indicated a shift toward
a more residential campus. Large waiting lists for residence hall
space led to the construction of Sutowski Hall, which opened in
the fall of 1978. Named after prominent Cleveland businessman and
benefactor Walter S. Sutowski, this residence hall houses approximately
180 students on its three floors, nestled on the northernmost edge
of John Carroll's campus. The residence hall's close proximity
to nearly all campus facilities makes it a popular choice for students
each year. Stylistically, the residence hall is one of the few
buildings on campus to incorporate a flat-roofed design, rather
than the pitched roof design utilized on the majority of campus
buildings.
