Abstract
Chinese higher education institutions have implemented a centralized accommodation arrangement system for students since ancient times. The emergence and continuation of this system have their corresponding economic, ideological, and functional value bases. However, in the contemporary higher education environment, the foundation upon which this dormitory management system relies has undergone significant changes, resulting in practical issues such as numerous dormitory conflicts, high fire safety risks, low educational effectiveness, and poor social benefits. The reform of the accommodation system in Chinese universities can draw on the “residential college system” and “accommodation application system” models of foreign universities, while combining China’s national conditions and traditional culture to create a university accommodation system with Chinese characteristics.
