I gave building dorms the Nec way a shot, and I think it turned out pretty good.
The Nec way of building means that the dorms should be optimized for College Rampage. The lot is saved as residential, in case you'd want to remodel - though that might defeat the purpouse of College Rampage-optimizing the layout.
Debord Dorms holds seven rooms, with one slightly bigger for that extra-special sim. Comes with a small garden and room for additional outside activities. To change the lot to a dorm, just type "changelotzoning dorm" in the cheat box, without the ".
Good luck, and feel free to come with constructive criticism, if it is needed!
