boarder
This term describes a specific residential arrangement where the cost of living includes both a room and sustenance. It carries a domestic, often traditional connotation, suggesting a shared household environment rather than a commercial hotel or a simple rental agreement. In a domestic setting, it implies a semi-permanent guest who integrates into the daily routines of the host's home.
In an educational context, the word identifies students who reside on campus. This usage often evokes the atmosphere of boarding schools, where the institution assumes a parental role in providing for the student's basic needs throughout the academic term.
