Have temporary accommodation on US college grounds (6)

I believe the answer is:

campus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'college grounds' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for campus that I've seen before include "student quarters" , "Area around a university" , "educational location" , "university position" , "University or college site" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
