As mentioned in the Island introduction, there are five dorms that students can choose to enter upon arriving at the academy. First off all, each dorm is represented by three/four of seventeen Pokemon Types. Additionally, each dorm has two/three colors of uniform to choose from.
In any case, here is the list of available dorms, and some brief information about each one;
Lava Dorm
Sitting at the foot of Mount Magmadyne lies the Lava Dorm. Due to being near the volcano the dorm stays relatively hot, making air conditioning a necessity. It sports an overall flame motif and has an a cable car leading to the mountains outer surface and a passage into it, though for anyone who tries to enter the volcano they are asked to have water Pokemon, or water Pokemon trainers in their company, as even though the volcano is inactive, it is still very hot.
Colors: Red, Orange, and Brown
Types: Fire, Dragon, and Rock
Status: Allowed
Wave Dorm
The Wave Dorm sits on Harmonia Beach, its walls blue with an overall wave motif. The Wave Dorm is the only dorm where all rooms face out to the beach, giving a spectacular view of the ocean and easy access to the beach. Water flows through the main lobby keeping most of the building relatively cool, while the ocean breeze does the rest. Though heating is available in all rooms if students ever feel uncomfortable in their new homes. The students who live here have chosen to start with Water, Ice, or Poison type Pokemon.
Colors: Blue, Light Blue, and Purple
Types: Water, Ice, and Poison
Status: Allowed
Nature Dorm
The Nature Dorm sits in the middle of Mother Edea's Forest. It is built around "The Lifebringer" a giant tree where many Pokemon nest. Its walls and floors are all made of wood and though the building itself is man made, branches sprout out from its walls and bug Pokemon have begun to hang from these growths, as if the dorm itself is a part of the forest.
Colors: Green, Pink, and Cream
Types: Grass, Bug, Fairy, and Ground
Status: Allowed
Mana Dorm
A renovated clone of Blancblack Manor. It has been sized up considerably to allow for both a male and female side. Nevertheless, the manor still retains its other worldly feel and unlike its abandoned original, lacks any wild Pokemon. It is the only dorm to have a library, though it has more of a historical collection than anything else. Students here have chosen to start with Psychic, Dark, or Ghost type Pokemon.
Colors: Black, White, and Violet
Types: Ghost, Dark, and Psychic
Status: Allowed
Bolt Dorm
Lightning rods are off in the distance of this dorm. It sits on the Blissfury Plains and is the most technical of the dorms. A number of robotics are used for the student's convenience and are all running off of the electricity used provided by the lightning rods. Its walls sport an electric motif. Students are asked to take extreme caution when approaching the lightning rods during their explorations as the shock can prove lethal.
Colors: Navy Blue, Yellow, and Silver
Types: Electric, Steel, Flying, and Fighting
Status: Allowed
Other Info about the dorms
Each room houses up to two students. The dorms are quite large, so they have quite a few rooms available. Additionally, each room contains a television, a bathroom with a shower, its own kitchen area complete with a medium-sized refrigerator, a stove, a microwave, some shelves, silverware, and a sink. Each student also has their own bed, a dresser, a desk to work at, and a nightstand with a lamp. Students are free to bring along anything they want to add from home.
To prevent having having too many/too few people in a single dorm, each dorm has status listed with them. Basically, this status determines whether or not you'll be allowed to join a specific dorm, and how much we're prefer you to pick/avoid one. There are four in total, and may occasionally be prefixed with "slightly" or "greatly", depending on the situation.

- Rivalry between dorms is not only allowed, but even encouraged, this is further explained here.
- Each dorm has 4 supervisors called Wardens, two male and two female, who are charged with looking over the students and keeping them out of trouble. They live in their own rooms within the dorms, separate from those of the students'.
- Each dorm comes with a fully-stocked kitchen, but no food. So, if any students wish to cook, they must bring their own ingredients, which can be found in the City. Furthermore, any students who use the kitchen will be responsible for cleaning up their own messes.
- If a student wishes to change dorms, we do allow it. All one has to do is speak with the Headmaster, and give their reasons for wishing to switch over. If they seem reasonable enough, then he will authorize it. Otherwise, he will contact the Wardens of that dorm and defer to their judgement.

- Allowed: You are welcome to join this dorm.
- Encouraged: Not only are you allowed to join this dorm, but we'd actually like it very much if you would.
- Discouraged: You're still allowed to join this dorm, but we'd prefer it if you chose something else, as there is getting to be a lot of students in here.
- Not Allowed: There are simply too many students in this dorm, and not enough in the others, so please pick something else.
