Dormitory
On-campus housing provided by universities for students, ranging from shared rooms to apartment-style suites. Also called residence halls.
Dormitories (or residence halls) provide on-campus housing that is integral to the university experience, particularly in the US where many institutions require first-year students to live on campus. Housing options range from traditional double rooms with shared bathrooms to modern suite-style and apartment configurations. Living on campus has been shown to improve academic performance, social integration, and graduation rates. Costs vary widely — from $3,000/year at some state universities to $15,000+ at private institutions in expensive urban areas.
