Generally speaking, it is impossible, unless the dormitory construction can't keep up with the large-scale expansion of the school, and the linearity causes a temporary shortage of beds. You can go to school conditionally if you can't arrange accommodation. This situation is rare. Only in those years when colleges and universities expanded enrollment, a large number of dormitory buildings were built in colleges and universities, and the supply of beds was sufficient, and day study became a thing of the past. In addition, the logistics of university dormitories are generally handled by society. So you must pay the accommodation fee (this money is not collected by the university, but invested by the investor to build the dormitory). It is your personal responsibility to live there. Most schools don't care whether you live outside, as long as you pay the room rate.
