Question: Can you have overnight guests in a dorm?

Answer:

Whether you can have overnight guests in a dorm depends on the specific rules of your college or university. Many schools allow overnight guests, but they often have restrictions.

These might include limits on how many nights a guest can stay, needing permission from roommates, or requiring guests to be registered with campus security.

Some schools may have stricter policies, especially if the dorm is single-gender or has specific quiet hours. It’s always best to check with your dorm’s resident advisor or housing office to get the exact details for your situation.
