College dorms are residential buildings on or near a college or university campus where students live while attending school. They typically offer shared rooms, communal bathrooms, and common areas for socializing and studying. Dorms provide a convenient living arrangement for students, allowing them to be close to classes and campus activities. Most college dorms have rules and guidelines to promote a respectful and safe environment. Some dorms are designated for specific groups, such as first-year students or graduate students, while others may focus on particular interests, like honors programs or themed living communities.
