Living in de Nobili Hall: what to know before you pack

The room

de Nobili's double and triple traditional rooms each get one Twin XL bed, dresser, desk, and chair per resident; Loyola lists the bed as 84"L x 41"W x 29"H, which is a frame-style figure rather than a mattress size, so buy sheets to Twin XL. Junior lofting to 36" is the university standard here and it is the only loft height de Nobili's page lists — no 64" high loft option appears for this building. The page also notes that because of how some rooms are laid out, some beds must remain bunked; Loyola does not say which rooms or how many, so the exception scope is genuinely unpublished and worth confirming with Residence Life before you plan furniture. In triples, Residence Life's school-wide guidance is that residents share the closets or wardrobes in the space. Bathrooms are community-style, shared by the floor. The building has forced-air, thermostat-controlled AC across all four residential floors, plus elevator access.

Day to day

de Nobili is built around its own dining hall on the entry level of the building, so residents don't have to leave to eat, and Loyola notes it offers a late-night dining option for all residents. A two-story entertainment lounge, four study lounges, study lounges on all floors, and two community kitchens give students places to cook, study, and gather without a long walk. Floors are single-gender, and the building has a 24-hour staffed reception desk with ID required for entry. It's one of the more self-contained first-year halls on the Lake Shore Campus.

Move-in day

de Nobili Hall is one of only two first-year buildings with a single shared fall 2026 move-in day: August 16, 2026, alongside St. Joseph's (Francis moves half that day, Mertz a third). Because de Nobili does not split its move-in across multiple days, every resident plans on August 16 rather than waiting for a date assignment — Loyola's late-June date notice applies to buildings with multiple move-in dates, not to de Nobili. Your final assignment with move-in time arrives in late July.
