{{cleanup}}A '''dormitory''' is a special sorttype of [[residential lot]]s that can only be found in [[college]] [[sub-neighborhood]]s. Dormitory housing is one of the two types of housing available to all [[young adult]] Sims. Unlike renting a house on campus, there is no cost to move into a dormitory, so dorm housing is available tofor even the poorest students. Each college has its own pre-made dormitories but players are allowed to make their own by creating a residential lot, and using the appropriate [[The Sims 2: University/cheats|cheat code]] to zone it as a dormitory. Players can also edit the pre-existing dormitories, but will not have full access to [[Buy mode|Buy]] and [[Build mode]] options unless a cheat code is used.
 
While living in a dormitory, playable [[Sim]]s live with young adult [[Townies]]. They are not members of the household though, and cannot be asked to join the household, but do reduce the amount of the household's [[bills]].
 
Dormitory rooms use the '''Myne Door'''. This door is able to be "claimed" by a single Sim, making a room his/hers and giving him/her the ability to restrict access to the room. After a Sim has claimed a room, his or her picture will appear on the door. This picture will not change if the Sim's appearance is changed. Townies that live in the dorm also claim rooms; players are given a slight head-start (about an hour of game time) to claim the rooms they want the playable Sims to have. To maximize frame rate, rooms claimed by Townies appear empty unless a playable Sim walks into them. This also creates a "What's going on in there!?" effect, which adds realism.
