resident student

Dorm-living pupil

A resident student lives on campus in university-provided housing—dormitories, residence halls, or student apartments—as opposed to commuting from home or off-campus housing.

The term distinguishes those who pay room and board from day students: Resident students have access to the dining hall around the clock.

In some contexts, it contrasts with exchange or visiting students.
