Morphology
The meaning 'a building providing living accommodation for students' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'student' (person studying) + 'residence' (place where someone lives) with no idiomatic shift. This straightforward noun–noun combination is a common lexical pattern cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Student residence combines student ('a learner') and residence ('a place to live'), so it creates a simple image of students living together in one building. So the phrase means 'a building where students live'.
