سكن
The Arabic word "سكن" means "to reside," "to dwell," or "to live."
Here, 'سكن' is used as a verb meaning 'to reside'. It describes the act of living in a particular place.
سكن الطالب في المدينة الجامعية.
The student resided in the university dormitory.
In this case, 'السكن' is used as a noun meaning 'place of residence' or 'dwelling' to refer to a physical location where someone lives.

Here, 'السكن' again functions as a noun, referring to housing or accommodation in general.
