Do all colleges have dorms?

Hi! I'm a high school junior, and I was wondering if all colleges offer on-campus housing or dorm facilities? Or do some only have off-campus housing options? Trying to get a better understanding before I start applying!

Hi there! Not all colleges have on-campus housing or dorm facilities. While many colleges, especially larger institutions, do provide on-campus housing for students, there are some smaller colleges and community colleges that may not offer on-campus dorms. In these cases, students generally find off-campus housing options, such as apartments, shared homes, or commuter options if they live close enough.

It's essential to research each college you're interested in applying to and see what kind of housing options they offer. This information can often be found on the college's website, under their residential life or housing sections. Additionally, you can reach out to their admission offices for more information on their housing policies and options.

Keep this factor in mind as you evaluate your potential college choices, as some students may prefer the convenience and community atmosphere of on-campus living, while others might prefer the independence and flexibility of an off-campus arrangement. Good luck with your college search!
