A British academic term describing a student or fellow who resides outside the physical buildings of their college rather than in college accommodation. Typically used in the context of Oxford and Cambridge universities, where college membership and residency have historically been distinct, and where living 'out of college' or 'out of house' had specific regulatory and social implications. The term is formal and institutional rather than slang, and its usage is largely limited to the Oxbridge context.

: a building or room near the entrance of an estate or building, especially (UK, Canada) as a college mailroom.
(obsolete) A small, unendowed college in Oxford or Cambridge.
