If you "live out" (i.e. rent a room in a shared house rather than living in a hall of residence), and you do your shopping at the local supermarket, travel on public transport, etc., is it really that different from having an office job?
I think so, yes. Students make up a minority of the population, and they tend to share houses with each other and socialise together, as well as often keeping different hours to everyone else. The separation doesn't have to be physical.
Perhaps boarding school would be a better fit?
Hmmm, interesting idea: it's more of a separation, and for much of the last century it was an experience shared by a large slice of the population. I think you're on to something there.
