Talk:Dormitory
From Academic Kids
"Halls of Residence at boarding schools, colleges and universities used to house students in dormtories": at any rate, this fails to explain the complexity of the subject. Whether technically correct or not, students commonly continue to call what universities and colleges often promote the calling-of as "Residence Halls" as "dormitories" or "dorms." This should be explained in more detail. --Daniel C. Boyer 16:57, 4 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Merge
I suggest merging the dormitory and residence hall articles into one article. If there are usage differences among the terms, that could also be explained in the article.
But the mean thing is that people sleep in them, and a lot of times those people are students who attend the school which owns and operates the buildings. --Uncle Ed 18:09, 14 Jan 2004 (UTC)
A place to sleep
that's kind of misleading, in fact this is probably an outright lie, it's not physicially possible to sleep in a dormitory, and I'd challange you to find a single dorm where that statment would be true
