Dormitory life is one of the first experiences that students face in social relations. Dorms are spaces that students learn how to live and communicate with others under the flag of regulations. Each of small rooms of dorm is a platform for experiencing independent life. The dormitories of the past, which were perceived as simply places for students to sleep, are being transformed into integrated living-learning environments. New residential models have been explored that foster community, collegiality, communication, and interaction. New configurations of stand-alone singles, rooms shared by two or three, or suites of various sizes have been developed to offer incoming students flexibility and variety in their sleeping and private living spaces.
