Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'student' specifies who the 'lodging' is for, so a learner who knows both words can infer it means accommodation intended for students. This noun–noun compound pattern is common cross-linguistically and therefore immediately understandable to a B1 learner (though finer details like 'inexpensive' or 'supervised' may need context).
Etymology
Student lodging comes from places where students stayed together in cheap houses or rooms when they travelled. The word student shows who used them and lodging means a place to sleep, so today it means 'inexpensive supervised accommodation' for young people or students on trips.
