dormmates
College living companions
Dormmates are people who share a dormitory, typically in a college or university setting.
The term can refer either to someone sharing the same room or more broadly to residents of the same dormitory building or floor.
My dormmates and I stayed up late studying for finals.
The word is interchangeable with dorm mates as two words.
