Method: The sample consists of students in different majors and academic levels living in eight different fraternities and sororities of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The instrument for gathering data was a questioner which consisted questions about their satisfaction of their present dormitories. Results: The results reveal that there is a meaningful relationship between environmental psychology features and sexuality, academic levels and types of dormitories. In summary as a conclusion, sexuality, academic levels and types of dormitories are the three main elements that must necessarily be considered in designing dormitories. These elements would be effective on a number of students’ psychological characteristics such as crowding, personal space, control and territorial behavior.
