floormate
Same floor resident
A floormate is someone who lives on the same floor of a building as you, typically in a dormitory or apartment complex.
The term is most common in college housing contexts, where students sharing a floor often form social bonds through proximity.
My floormate and I became close friends freshman year.
Unlike a roommate, a floormate has their own room but shares common spaces like hallways, bathrooms, or lounges.
