DORMITORY

Dormitory (dorm) or hall of residence is a building primarily providing sleeping and

residential quarters for large numbers of people, often boarding school, and college or
university students. In the United States dorm is the most common term, which comes
originally from the Latin word dormitorium. On the other hand, in the United Kingdom
the term hall is more usual, especially in a university context. A dormitory can also be a single room containing
several beds.

Most colleges and universities provide single or multiple occupancy rooms for their students, usually at a
cost. These buildings consist of many such rooms, like an apartment building, and the number of rooms
varies quite widely from just a few to hundreds. The largest dormitory building is Bancroft Hall at the
United States Naval Academy.

Many colleges and universities no longer use the word "dormitory" and staff are now using the term
residence hall (analogous to the United Kingdom "hall of residence") or simply "hall" instead. Outside
academia however, the word "dorm" or "dormitory" is commonly used without negative connotations.
Indeed, the words are used regularly in the marketplace as well as routinely in advertising. College and
university residential rooms vary in size, shape, facilities and number of occupants. Typically, a United
States residence hall room holds two students with no toilet. This is usually referred to as a "double".
Often, residence halls have communal bathroom facilities.

In the United States, residence halls are sometimes segregated by sex, with men living in one group of
rooms, and women in another. Some dormitory complexes are single-sex with varying limits on visits by
persons of each sex. For example, the University of Notre Dame in Indiana has a long history of Parietals,
or mixed visiting hours. Most colleges and universities offer coeducational dorms, where either men or
women reside on separate floors but in the same building or where both sexes share a floor but with
individual rooms being single-sex. In the early 2000s, dorms that allowed people of opposite sexes to
share a room became available in some public universities.[2] Some colleges and university coeducational
dormitories also feature coeducational bathrooms.

Most residence halls are much closer to campus than comparable private housing such as apartment
buildings. This convenience is a major factor in the choice of where to live since living physically closer to
classrooms is often preferred, particularly for first-year students who may not be permitted to park
vehicles on campus. Universities may therefore provide priority to first-year students when allocating this
accommodation.
