I don't know about others but at C/W MARS the academics provide a file and all the data comes from the student information system including mailing addresses. We often get one address that is a campus address and one that is a home address.
I think Martha has it covered but we have some institutions who would want address information overlaid and others who might want all address in the record because of the way students can move around.
