But the university administration is in two minds over whether or not to reopen the halls since the government has not given any instructions.
Tabia Islam, a protesting student, said on Sunday the female students have not returned to the halls due to security reasons but they expect the authorities to reopen all the residential halls within 24 hours.
The students, enraged by clashes with locals of Gerua village next to the campus on Friday, broke into the closed dormitories during demonstration on Saturday.
Before entering the halls, the students marched towards the residence of Vice-Chancellor Farzana Islam and staged a sit-in outside her home demanding that the authorities reopen the halls.
