Dorm room
意味: A shared bedroom in a college dormitory, typically small and furnished with basics.
The dorm room is the first independent living space for most American college students — a tiny room shared with a stranger (roommate) containing two beds, two desks, and about 150 square feet of space. Decorating your dorm room (tapestries, fairy lights, photos) is a college ritual. 'Dorm life' includes communal bathrooms, quiet hours nobody follows, and the microwave as your primary cooking appliance. Dorm rooms create lifelong friendships and legendary stories.
