student union
Campus governing body
A student union is an organization representing students at a college or university, typically advocating for their interests and organizing activities.
The term also refers to the building housing this organization, which usually contains lounges, dining facilities, and meeting spaces: Let's grab lunch at the student union.
In British usage, student union emphasizes the representative body; in American usage, it often means the building itself.
