Ok, let me see if I can answer all your questions!
I lived in Bellarmine my freshman and sophomore years (floor 4 and 6 respectively).
Both times my view was of the library, which was great. Much more quiet than the street side.
Tips-Bring shower-ready flip-flops for sanitary reasons. If you live on an all girls floor, you will have a better chance of getting a shower at all times, but otherwise, it isn't hard to find a shower. Sometimes if they were cleaning the bathrooms or they were all taken (random times it would be busy, you really can't schedule a good time), I would hop in the elevator and go to a different floor and take a shower there.
No trash can provided but you can bring one!
I loved living so close to campus!! Bellarmine was closest to the Student Center (where Cherry Street Market and the Hawk's Nest Bistro are), so I enjoyed just wandering down the elevator and down a little street to get my food. The dorms have a great sense of community and there are always things going on-so you'll never get bored.
My favorite place to eat is the Hawks Nest Bistro (or just the "Bistro")-it's like a little restaurant; they play music and make pizza's and have student performers play...it's great!
Just walk North down Broadway when you get here, that's an experience in itself.
Hope this helps-
