Yeah, I think I like this best. Add "typically" before "large numbers of".

We need tags to be somewhat broad and somewhat flexible - a single tag
that defines only a very, very specific kind of thing causes pain
later on when someone wants to map something that is similar, but not
identical. IMHO, having one tag that encompasses university halls of
residence, military barracks, monastic dormitories, and possibly other
places where accommodation of this type is provided, makes sense.

(Although I'm seeing some possible distinction between the tag
describing only the sleeping quarters, or the whole building).
