该大学称，只要这两个已婚的学生都是该学校注册的住校生，那么学校就会给他们提供（他俩一起住的）宿舍。

The students need to provide their campus ID and marriage certificate to apply for the dormitories, according to a message posted and promoted on the university's official Sina Weibo account, reported Xinhua Agency.

据新华社报道，南开大学在其新浪官方微博上发布消息称，申请已婚宿舍的学生，需要提供校园卡号和结婚证。

It is still not common for a university to have dorms for couples though Nankai Univerisity is not the first to offer such a service.

尽管南开大学不是第一所提供此项服务的大学，但为结过婚的大学生夫妇提供宿舍依然不太常见。
