I don't see a clear distinction between student accommodations and
other residential areas.
In California there are many "mini-dorms" and private student housing
buildings which are not located on the University campus or operated
by the university. Would theybe tagged amenity=student_accommodation?
What about a Sorority or Fraternity?
I think it's sufficient to map a building for a single student
dormitory, or use a named landuse=residential area for a larger, named
"residential college" or "housing unit" which contains several
buildings but has one commonly-used name.
Note that landuse=residential is commonly used with a name=* tag to
map named apartment complexes which have several buildings, in
California, Singapore and Indonesia at least.
Here we also have many "perumahan" features, which translate as
something like "housing development" or "housing estate" and contain
10 to a few dozen houses with a fence and gate around it, and a big
sign in front like "Perumahan Anggrek Biru" ("Blue Orchid
Residences"). These are mapped as landuse=residential + name=*
We can use residential=university for student housing,
residential=apartments and residential=single_family if these details
need to be mapped.
Some may object: "but if I create a landuse=residential area inside of
an amenity=university, it will look funny on Map rendering X and Y" -
but we don't map for the renderer, we try to represent reality as best
we can.
Land that is used for student dorms or apartments is not objectively
different than any other residential area, except for the age of the
residents, whether or not it is operated by a University
