Housing policies differ from school to school．Students might be able to choose whatever housing they can find．Or they might have to live in a dormitory（寝室），at least for the first year．
Dorms come in all sizes．A building may house a small number of students or many hundreds．Some have suites．Each suite has several bedrooms，a common living area and a bathroom．Six or more students may live in one suite．Other dorms have many rooms along a common hallway，usually with two students in each room．
Many students say dormitories provide the best chance to get to know other students．Also，dorms generally cost less than apartments or other housing not owned by the school．
Most colleges and universities offer singlesex dorms，but usually males and females live in the same building．They might live on the same floors and share the same common bathrooms．But，in most cases，they may live in the same room only if they are married．
At many schools，male students can join fraternities (联谊会，兄弟会) and females can join sororities (女生联谊会，姊妹会)．These are mainly social organizations but members may also be able to live in their fraternity or sorority house．
Edward Spencer is the associate vicepresident（副主席） for student affairs at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg．He says it is important to understand the rules of the building in which you will live．

Virginia Tech，for example，had a ban against candles in dorms．But it changed that policy to let students light candles for religious purposes．
