In the early years, in order to set aside dormitories for students, Beijing Institute of Technology made every effort to vacate the houses of faculty, office buildings and school guest houses, and rented a building off campus for students to live in. Referring to similar practices, some schools can re-plan campus facilities and transform them into student dormitories. For students who are collectively placed in college dropout, the school can open a school bus, which is convenient for students to go to work and make them more focused on their studies.

In addition, the practice of moving the former graduate school or some colleges as a whole can alleviate the tense situation of dormitory in the old campus. In the Master Admissions Guide of Beijing Normal University in 2020, the professional masters trained in Beijing do not arrange accommodation, but the professional masters in Zhuhai can arrange accommodation during their school days. Zhengzhou University has built a new campus in Luoyang, and can recruit graduate students in the future. In recent years, there are often news reports that colleges and universities clean up overdue graduate students. For these students, the school can formulate a reasonable dormitory exit mechanism as appropriate, so that resources can be efficiently circulated and left to those who need it more.

When arranging students' dormitories, schools should also tilt or take care of students with difficulties in life and special needs according to specific circumstances; For students who have to go out to rent a house, the school can provide additional housing subsidies to students within its power to reduce their financial burden. Colleges and universities can transport outstanding talents for local economic development, and also actively seek policy support from local governments on the dormitory issue. Encouraging social capital to participate in the construction of student apartments is also a direction worth exploring. There have been some related attempts before. For example, the company invests in the construction of socialized off-campus student apartments, which will be rented out by colleges and universities as a whole after completion to solve the student accommodation problem.
