The Coolest Student Dorms in the World (25 photos) (Photo)

Calling this beauty a "dormitory" is a stretch. This student dormitory is located in Ørestad, a new district of Copenhagen, Denmark. Called Tietgen Student City, it's a circular residential building with an impressive courtyard. Completed in 2006, it houses 360 rooms across seven floors, occupying a total area of ​​26,800 square meters. The building's circular shape symbolizes equality and unity.
