What time is the curfew that your college or university have for the students?
Is it strictly enforced?

Is there also a curfew as to when they have to be in their dorms?

9:30 pm. "Strictly enforced" in that if they aren't on campus by that time the gates are locked and they can't get to their dorm. I don't believe there's any restriction per se about "in the dorm".

11 PM, campus gates and dorm rooms locked
Although I've been out with students before and they haven't seemed particularly concerned about getting locked out.
The campus gates are very easy to simply vault over too.

In every school in which I have taught, the dorm lights were turned off at 10:00 or 10:30 pm. Most of their after-dinner time from 7:00 to 10:00 was spent in study hall. The bell would ring at 10:00, and the students would flood out of the buildings to walk to the dorms.

I don't know about a curfew, though. The closed gates were left partially open to stop vehicular traffic but to allow foot traffic. At one school, after midnight, one had to walk through the guard shack to get in or out, but the guards were usually asleep.

In the newer universities and colleges, older campuses were moved to the edge of town and put in newer facilities, so there really wasn't much to do near campus. Friday nights were a bit different. The students might go out to KTV and not return home until 2:00 by cab.

Fact is, this has no bearing on your or your job; there is nothing relevant to you about what the students do or when they have to be home.

Is this a "sleeping with a student in my apartment" question?

Perhaps the OP lives on campus, and the students are doing something disruptive or noisy late at night ?

I have worked at some schools that were very strict about the curfew, and the campus was very quiet at night.
Other schools may not enforce the curfew and the students might be disturbing the FT's that are living on campus.

Usually there is a place or two outside the campus where students who got locked out can hang out/catch a little sleep until breakfast, such as a ktv hall. At my first university there was a notorious cinema not far away where students, lovers and professional lovers spent the wee hours of the morning. Some may go to the spa and skip the massage and head straight for the shower and bed/recliner available for less than a hotel room. If there are still any net bars (网吧) anymore, those are likely hang outs.

And of course, some students keep apartments near campus. They aren't allowed to of course, but they do anyway.

10:30pm curfew (fairly strictly enforced)
11pm lights out (electricity is cut off in the dorms)
Teacher apartments and intn'l students dorms not included.

My uni closes the main doors to the dorms at midnight, but the gates are manned 24/7 so the students can come and go as they will. After midnight they have to wake up ayi to let them in to their building and incur her wrath. My students tell me they usually hang out with each other in the dorm buildings until 2, 3 or even 4am, safe in the knowledge they can catch up on their sleep during class time.

In my school the students have to be in at 10:30, even on weekends and holidays. The rooms get checked. We have no restrictions.

Two years ago when I was in Korea the teachers lived in the dorms and we had to be in at 11. Our apartments were beautiful, but we could not have visitors. But the students could rum
N up the stairs or each others rooms freely.

Yes, this does belong in this forum because one question I asked before i accepted this job was if the teachers had any restrictions. And if there are typos here, sorry. Mi am typing on an iPad and the tp
Yep is really tiny
