Students' Union
A students' union, also known by many other names, is a student organization present in many colleges, universities, and high schools. In higher education, the students' union is often accorded its own building on the campus, dedicated to social, organizational activities, representation, and academic support of the membership.

This building is also referred to as a student activity center, although the Association of College Unions International (largely US-based) has hundreds of campus organizational members.
