247Sports.comOn the opposite side of the Dome is Sorin Hall. Known primarily as Sorin College, the dorm is as historic as they come at Notre Dame
The University itself also appears to use the term "Sorin College" to refer to the dormitory in some of its official communications, including
communications from Notre Dame's athletic department.
Additionally, the two campus newspapers appear to nearly exclusively use the term "Sorin College" to refer to the building:
The Observer has done so innumerable times, but some are listed here for your perusal:
12345etc.
The Irish Rover similarly refers to the dorm as "Sorin College"
123, etc.
Taken together, it appears that the common name of the dormitory is "Sorin College". As a result, I believe that this page should be moved. —

Strong oppose for the following reasons:
It is not a college, it is a dormitory, and it would confuse the reader the nickname Sorin College arose among its students, but it could be confusing to the reader since it is a
residence hall, not an actual
college. The reader might hence be confused.
Sorin Hall is the official name It is listed as such at the university's official website for the dormitory.[1].
Sorin Hall is used exclusively by the official channels of the university. The nickname Sorin College is never used in an official way, and indeed it is not present in any of the official university documentation. Sorin Hall is as used on the
official building directory, the
building Zip code list, and
the official campus map. All official Notre Dame sites use Sorin Hall, the real name of the dormitory.
here,
here and
here. Sorin College is sometimes mentioned, but as a nickname, as seen in these links. The user above claims that there in one article in which it is used in an official capacity, but in reality the link provided shows an article by Ed Cohen on ND magazine from 2001, which was then republished on an atheltics website blog. This definitely does not constitute an official communication from the University.
The user above linked a newspaper.com article of the
South Bend Tribune from 2008 and 1996 that uses the Sorin College nickname. That appears to be few instances. In reality, the
South Bend Tribune uses exclusively Sorin Hall, as can be seen in these three recent SBT articles from 2020 using Sorin Hall. [13][14][15]. Indeed, Google News finds
23 recent instances of the South Bend Tribune using Sorin Hall and
zero instances of it using Sorin College.
Similarly, the user above claims that 247sports.com uses Sorin College, while in reality it only uses it
1 time in 2007, while it uses Sorin Hall
3 times, most recently in 2021.
Both campus newspapers, the
The Observer and
The Irish Rover use both names, although I'd like to point out that serching the Observer archives [found at
http://archives.nd.edu/Observer/] gives 729 results for Sorin Hall and 226 for Sorin College.
Sorin Hall is more common than Sorin College as show above in all Notre Dame communications and all independent sources, and Sorin Hall more results on Google search than Sorin College.
