How it's used
While 學生 is the standard term for a student, it is often omitted in casual speech when the context of studying is already clear. Instead of saying 學生, people frequently refer to someone by their specific level, such as 中學生 for secondary school students or 大學生 for university students. Using the generic term can sometimes sound slightly formal or detached in a very relaxed conversation.
