student residences

Where scholars live

Student residences are buildings where students live while attending school, typically on or near a college or university campus.

The term covers dormitories, residence halls, and purpose-built apartment complexes housing students.

First-year students are required to live in student residences.

The phrase is more common in British and Canadian English; Americans often say dorms or housing.
