were usually referred to as "college students."

U Delaware, CalTech, U Oregon. (There was a 24/7 restaurant in Eugene in the '80s that started "Car...", I think, that attracted more than a few.)

Often the students were there to study. Often there to work off too much liquor (making one wonder how they got there legally ... Then you had to stop and think that they just weren't caught). Sometimes there to satisfy their inner munchie-monster.

Weirdly, sometimes all 3.
