student unions

College advocacy groups

Student unions are organizations run by and for students at a college or university, typically providing advocacy, social activities, and services.

The term also refers to the building housing such an organization—a gathering place with lounges, food services, and meeting spaces: Let's grab lunch at the student union.

In British usage, the student union often includes a bar.
