What you're saying is British English usage. Here in the Philippines, dormitories are understood to be buildings primarily for students. For example, in the Ateneo de Manila University, we have the Cervini Residence Hall for males and Eliazo Residence Hall for females: Note that the Wikipedia article classifies these are "dormitories" in accordance to local usage even if the official name uses "Residence Hall": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervini-Eliazo_Residence_Halls In the University of the Philippines, we have several dormitories such as Kalayaan Hall, Ilang-Ilang Hall, Molave Hall, etc. There are also private businesses that run student dormitories, usually located very near universities such as Manila Dormitory across the University of Santo Tomas: http://maniladormitory.com/
