It may be intentional but the only room my dwellers don't level (either in levels or SPECIAL) in is the Radio Room. Dwellers sent there don't gain anything.
I understand that these rooms give happiness and attract new dwellers but is there a reason that dwellers assigned there don't level up?
I did search for a similar topic but the search function returned zero hits for "radio" so I'm either doing something wrong or there's something wrong with search.
