on-campus housing

Student living quarters

On-campus housing refers to dormitories, residence halls, or apartments provided by a college or university on its grounds for students to live in.

Schools typically require first-year students to live on campus: The on-campus housing fills up fast, so apply early.

The term distinguishes university-managed residences from off-campus apartments rented privately.
