dorm rooms
Campus living spaces
Dorm rooms are the small living quarters assigned to students in college or university residence halls.
Typically furnished with beds, desks, and basic storage, they house one to three students sharing tight quarters.
The dorm room experience—cramped space, communal bathrooms, late-night conversations—is central to American college mythology: My freshman dorm room was barely big enough for two beds.
