dormitory
Campus living quarters
A dormitory is a building providing sleeping quarters for many people, especially at a school or university.
Students live in dormitories during the academic year, often sharing rooms: My freshman dormitory had communal bathrooms.
Informally shortened to dorm.
A dormitory can also be a large room with multiple beds, as in a hostel.
In British usage, a dormitory town or suburb is a residential area whose inhabitants commute elsewhere to work.
