Dormitory
Dormitories are housing facilities provided by your school. They are usually located on-campus, or within walking distance. If transportation is a problem, dorm life may be an attractive option for you. In a dorm, you usually share a room with one or more roommates. Food preparation may be a concern as there may not be cooking facilities in your room, however, a meal plan for students may be an option. Contact your school's housing office for details.
