hallmates

Shared corridor residents

Hallmates are people who live in the same hallway or corridor, typically in a college dormitory or residence hall.

The term implies a closer proximity than dormmates generally—neighbors who share bathroom facilities, common areas, and the particular social dynamics of a single floor: My hallmates and I would study together in the lounge.
