That proposal now suggests amenity=student_accommodation, precisely
because of the oddness involved with the term "dormitory".

Personally, I prefer using the amenity key rather than building or
landuse. Landuse lacks the implication that this is one distinct
facility, and building values are not supposed to represent usage, but
how the building is built.
