freshman dorm

Newcomer student residence

A freshman dorm is a college residence hall designated for first-year students.

Many universities house freshmen separately to ease their transition to campus life and build community among new arrivals: I made most of my college friends in the freshman dorms.

The shared experience of navigating university life together often creates lasting bonds.
