Please help me.

Thanks a lot.

Almost any combination of articles, including the case of no article with "campus" (shown as O below), will work.

Most foreign students live in [the / a] dormitory on [the / a / O] campus.

I prefer:

Most ... in the dormitory on campus.

I thought there would be at least two dormitories (a dormitory for girls and that for boys) in a campus. So I put "a".

Paco,
I see your point, but I think that separate dormitories went out back in the 70's. Maybe the idea in back in vogue now. Who knows.
