★ What Makes PE Special? ★
In PE, we know that our hall is the best on campus, but what makes us better than any other dorm?
We asked some Pyros to answer three simple questions: 1) Why do you love PE? 2) What is the best thing about PE? 3) What makes PE unique? Check out a few of their answers below!

1. I love PE because of the great sense of friendship and community in the dorm. I really think that everyone is committed to making PE the best home it can possibly be through Hall sports, different events, and just looking out for one another!
2. My favorite thing about PE is Hall Council on Tuesday nights. I am a little bit biased from being on it for 3 years, but it is something I look forward to every week. It's awesome to hear what is going on on campus, and to hear what all of the Pyros in the dorm are involved in! And, it is a time to catch up with people you may miss during the busy week. Also, getting a free snack on Tuesday night is a major plus!
3. I think that our E-lounges make PE unique, which is the lounge between the sections! Only a few dorms on campus have them and you basically have to walk through them at some point, so you eventually will meet someone new! It is a space where friendships are made, late night talks and study sessions happen, and just general fun. And, we were the only Hall of the Year for 2015-2016; so if that isn't unique, I don't know what is!

1. PE is a home to women with diverse interests, fields of study, and personalities. It's a place where ladies live as a unit. Everyone has an open door, and all are welcome.
2. My favorite thing about PE is the 8th floor e-lounge because it's the ultimate social spot.
3. PE is very strong in its convictions, which makes it unique.

1. I love PE because everyone has so much pride for our dorm and it really feels like my home away from home!
2. One of my favorite things about PE is our inter-hall sports! We are a very active dorm and everyone loves to get involved!
3. PE is unique in that we are a STEM dorm, it's super helpful to have girls who have taken or are taking the classes you are in. It creates study groups right inside our hall which is really cool!

1. THE COMMUNITY. I've been blessed to have amazing friends at PE that build up my Notre Dame family. They're the girls I share life with; they encourage me spiritually, emotionally, and mentally to grow and be the best woman I can be.

PE is home. PE is where I can always find a familiar face, where I bake cookies at midnight, where I have dance party study breaks, and where I have met lifelong friends to share these moments with.

I love being a part of the Pasquerilla East community! It is a place where I have found many dear friends. PE is more than just a building. It is a place where I have found a family that grows each year and an infinite amount of support. We may be at the corner of campus but there is no other place I would rather be.
