residence hall
Student living quarters
A residence hall is a building where students live at a college or university—the formal term for what students typically call a dorm.
The phrase appears in official communications, housing policies, and campus maps: The new residence hall opens in fall semester.
Administrators prefer it; students rarely use it.
