student dormitories

College living quarters

Student dormitories are residential buildings where students live while attending school, typically at colleges and universities.

Often shortened to dorms, they provide housing on or near campus, usually with shared rooms and communal facilities: Freshmen are required to live in the student dormitories.

The term emphasizes institutional housing rather than private apartments.
