What are student dorms?
Student dorms, short for dormitories, are buildings on university campuses where students live. They often house many students in individual rooms or shared apartments, providing accommodation close to classes and campus facilities. The shooting at Virginia State University occurred outside these student residences, a place typically considered safe.
