Student

A student is any individual who receives instruction from a learned individual such as a scholar, a teacher, a mentor or an industry professional. In most horror fiction, student is usually used in reference to elementary schools, high schools or colleges.

A high school student is a male or feamle, usually between the ages of 14-17 who are required by law to attend a school within the zoning district in which they reside. High school generally represents a period of social and physical development in which students not only undergo the advanced stages of puberty, but also develop their core personalities, which will shape their futures. Most of the time however, they are just fodder for some psychotic axe-wielding murderer who wants to chop them up while they are off on Spring Break or a camping trip. The lucky ones however, manage to survive long enough to attend graduation where they receive their diploma and get to wear a nifty hat and gown.

A college student is a male or female, usually between the ages of 17-21 who has enrolled at a college of university. Many students are encouraged to join either a fraternity if they are male, or a sorority if they are female. Outside of their studies, students are often known for partying, particularly during the Spring Break season.
