campus housing

Where students live

Campus housing is residential accommodation provided by a college or university for its students, typically dormitories or apartment buildings located on or near school grounds.

Students often must choose between campus housing and off-campus alternatives: Freshmen are required to live in campus housing.

The term encompasses everything from traditional dorm rooms to graduate student apartments.
