The indoor environment quality(IEQ) in the dormitory of 9 universities has been investigated by the questionnaire for three times. The results indicate that the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the dormitory is very poor and it is far beyond the acceptable standard of the IAQ. The discontentment rate of the IEQ in the dorm is rather high, and the factors affecting the IEQ concentrates on the air pollution, awful smell, thermal comfort, narrow individual space, etc. Also the spot tests were done in a university in Chongqing, and the results indicate that the 6 indexes, such as indoor temperature, humidity, the density of CO2, SO2 and dust, the total bacterium, etc, are far beyond the correlative standard.
