halls of residence

Campus living quarters

Halls of residence are residential buildings at a university where students live, typically in individual rooms with shared facilities.

The term is British; Americans say dormitories or dorms.

First-year students are guaranteed a place in halls of residence.

Living in halls is often considered part of the university experience.
