大多数美国学校都要求低年级本科生住在学校宿舍。这对于刚刚来到美国、不熟悉周边环境也没买车的留学生来说，几乎是默认的选择。住在宿舍可以认识来自世界各地的同学，上课、吃饭、参加校园活动都很方便。
而且想必大家都（看图）吐槽过国内大学宿舍的屌丝感和国外大学宿舍的高大上吧。想象中的美国大学宿舍是介样的：
但大家也知道理想和现实是有差距哒~ 我们邀请住寝室的本科僧童鞋share了一下他们的寝室：
毕竟我们不可能每天住在样板房里啊，现实大概就是这样。宿舍大多是窄小拥挤、两人合住的房间，数量也往往有限。很多学校的寝室是只够本科生住的，研究生必须提前申请、通过抽签决定是否能入住。
更重要的是，与国内的情况不同，住大学宿舍并不是省钱的选择。大多数地区的大学宿舍和周边普通公寓的房租差不多，甚至更贵。所以高年级本科生和研究生往往选择搬离寝室，自己租房，这样更自由也更省钱。
根据美国网站eCollegeFinder的统计，以下是宿舍住宿费（每年）全美排名前10的学校：
