<p>Can they stay in the dorms? How does this whole thing work?</p>
<p>^ Yes the can, as long as your suitemates are okay with it. There are absolutely no restrictions on this, or rather no practical restrictions. Technically, no one can live with you but no one is going to really check so if you really wanted to…</p>
<p>But the way our housing is set up (our entryways are opened with our IDs, no security guard at the entrance), it is EXTREMELY easy and hassle-free for your friends to come spend a few days, as long as they stay with you so that you can let them in. No need to leave your ID with anyone in the lobby or for them to sign in as sometimes happens in other places.</p>
<p>As ^ says, it’s possible. I crashed for a night with one of my friends earlier this year and it was no hassle. I didn’t even have to ask the admissions office or anything. Just took metro north up one day and back the next. Even went to classes and stuff. It was amazing.</p>
