Chad, this was what I was looking for. In order to isolate the dorm
rooms from each other I know of about 3 ways to do it, but I was looking
for something like VLANS there it would route all the traffic to port 48
on each switch...

Are you using different subnets for each vlan, I'm assuming you are?
