It is a lounge for university students to encourage employment-related activities or discussions. Although indoors, this building is always open as a national university student center, and non-students are allowed to enter. It is a kind of indoor square where many students gather. I know that it is possible to submit even if it is indoors, but is it okay to submit it if it is a student’s community space like this?
Yes, it is.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that it will meet other criterion but the fact that it’s only available to some people doesn’t prevent it from becoming a wayspot.
I don’t know how to find the reference but spots that are ticketed or only open to certain residents or even military bases are eligible.

Hello,
Yes, this would be eligible. Here’s what the tooltip while reviewing says about restricted areas:
A student lounge at a university may be a great place to socialize for those allowed, and if they go to this place to also help find support, it may be a place for students to explore, too.

I don’t think it looks like a good place to socialize. It looks like a place to get work done (homework, job seeking, etc).
If they host community social events or classes, do include that in your nominations.
Students can still socialize while working together. I did that quite a bit in college: met up at a lounge area in a college building to either work on a project or even just have a coffee and talk business.
Socialization isn’t just “hey, how have you been?” it can also we “so, what should be focus on for our history project?”
