Paying attention to the dormitory life experience of freshmen will help colleges and universities improve and optimize their dormitory management strategies, so as to improve the overall level of serving students. Using qualitative research methods, this paper analyzes the dormitory life experience of 50 freshmen in Jiujiang University. The study found that the dormitory life experience of freshmen has significant characteristics of conflict and integration. The dormitory life conflict is mainly affected by living habits, personality differences, communication barriers, interest disputes, interest concepts, growth background and so on Learning and cooperation can well promote the integration between dormitory members. The conflict between dormitory members is not irreconcilable, and the transformation from conflict to integration can be realized under certain conditions. Therefore, the dormitory management of colleges and universities needs to minimize or dilute the factors that cause conflicts among dormitory members, strengthen or highlight the factors that promote the integration of dormitory members, such as collective activities, dormitory gatherings, casual communication, food sharing, learning cooperation, actively create a dormitory living atmosphere of unity, harmony, equality and cooperation, and finally realize the transformation from conflict to integration.
