But there is so much more beyond the two days spent on freshman retreat. Katie Hammond, freshman from Welsh Family Hall says it was an "awesome experience that allows you to know there is a lot more faith on campus. It is not just something for the weekend. The leaders provide ways to keep in touch with people because there is an activity at least once a week. One of the best things about freshman retreat occurs after the retreat: going to the Grotto and praying on Sunday nights." Don't be fooled. Not only is the weekend spiritual, but there is signifi­ cant time provided to socialize and play games. Mafia is a popular game played on most freshman retreats. Meeting new people in this type of atmosphere is one of a kind. Everyone is there for the same reason. Dehan said, "Freshman retreat was the first time people ever experience how they thought the Notre Dame community would be." Sophomore Road Trip proves to be a much different type of retreat.
