Students' union

A students' union or student union, sometimes called students' council, student government, free student union, student senate, students' association or guild of students is a student organization in many colleges, universities, and some high schools. In higher education, the students' union often has its own building on the campus, for social, and organizational activities. The students' union may have a voice in the running of the college. It may have its own staff. They often organise sports teams and entertainment.

In many countries there is a national organisation of students. There is a European Students' Union which has 45 national unions of students from 40 countries.
