Generalizability of results

Problem

First-year students at a certain large university are required to live on campus in 1 of the 24 available residence halls. After their first year, students have the option to live away from campus, but many choose to continue living in the residence halls. Estella oversees 12 of these residence halls. Her department surveyed a large simple random sample of first-year students who live in those 12 residence halls about their overall satisfaction with campus living.
Estella can safely generalize the results of the survey to which population?
