Question: Do you change dorms every semester?

Answer:

It depends on the college or university. Some schools require students to change dorms every semester or year, while others let students stay in the same dorm for the entire academic year or longer.

Typically, students may change dorms if they request a room switch, are involved in a housing lottery, or if the school needs to reassign rooms for various reasons, like renovations or accommodating new students.

If you’re attending or planning to attend a specific school, it’s best to check their housing policies for details.
