I lived in a student dormitory for two years.
[aɪ ˈlɪvd ˈɪn ə ˈstudn̩t ˈdɔrməˌtɔri fər ˈtu ˈjɪrz.]
Is the dormitory far from the university?
[ˈɪz ðə ˈdɔrməˌtɔri ˈfɑr frəm ðə ˌjunəˈvɜrsəti?]
The university has three dormitories for first-year students.
[ðə ˌjunəˈvɜrsəti həs ˈθri ˈdɔrməˌtɔriz fər ˈfɜrstˈjɪr ˈstudn̩ts.]
