How many beds can you have max. in a student housing?

I've played a lot in the game's premade dorms (the ones in penthouses with the elevators) when playing through university, and have never actually used the "regular" student housing type of venues.
I wanted to build one because I realized I could experience a food vendor NPC on the lot for the first time lol (no more chicken or lobster randomly placed on balconies please) but wondered how many beds/"dormies" NPC (townies but for dorms) the game actually allows?

Up to ten sims can reside in a university housing: 1-8 being your sims and the rest being roommates you can't control.

You can place as many beds as you want, but over 10 beds will have some beds unassigned.

Cool thanks, so 10 beds it is!

Best of luck in your endeavors. I generally take up to six kids to Uni at a time. This is because, generally, I'm having to replay the same family/save. Oi! And this gives me the opportunity to make sure my Sims are good little students, attentive in class and mindful of their homework. I like to revamp the 'penthouse' dorm, as you described it, to meet their needs. A row of cabinets beside the mini-fridge with a microwave atop the fridge, of course. When one of my Sim kids was married, I made the front left dorm room theirs. Double bed.

I change out the wall treatment, add drapery sometimes, and give them a new carpet. I have also put a door on that rather drafty shower! Erik is a Global Superstar who graduated high school early, but he doesn't deserve to have other stare at his backside when showering.

I add a gaming table for relaxation. Basically, I make it 'home'.
