common rooms
Dormitory gathering spaces
Common rooms are shared spaces in institutions—universities, dormitories, or workplaces—where people gather informally between scheduled activities.
British universities distinguish between the Junior Common Room (for undergraduates), Middle Common Room (graduate students), and Senior Common Room (faculty).
The term extends to any communal lounge: The hostel's common room had a TV and worn sofas.
