@VinceLestrade, every school is different.
My first university had a quiet lounge in my dorm building. (No talking permitted.) It had several couch areas and large, soft, quality “bean bag” chairs where you could rest if you didn’t want to stay in your room. (Quiet understated classical music played).
There was also a “dorm meeting room” in another part of the building where people met and spoke in quiet voices around rounded tables and padded chairs.
My large grad uni had a 24-hour student lounge for commuters who just needed a quiet, restful space. It was huge but quiet and had about 200 upholstered “benches” with XL washable pillows that always smelled clean! People didn’t bother each other and there was enough space to spread out and chill.
The Library Reserve rooms were extremely popular for people who just wanted to be by themselves in a quiet space. Rooms varied in size. Some rooms were mini-conference rooms with classroom amenities-boards, lighting, marking pens, etc. For all of these rooms, you had to reserve them in advance, but sometimes they had cancelations.
Every university has an option or two to accommodate your needs; you just need to check them out.
