The term Junior Common Room (JCR) is used in many British universities to refer to the collective of students (similar to a students' union) at a constituent college of the university, as well as to a physical room set aside for the college students' use.
Like many traditions borrowed from the United Kingdom, the term is also used in the undergraduate House system at Harvard University, to refer both to the set of undergraduates resident at or affiliated with the House and to a common recreation room set aside for the undergraduates' use.
In colleges admitting graduates as well as undergraduates, there are often separate associations that represent the unique interests of graduate students.
