In English if you would like to know what to call a female college/university student, we call them a "university student" or a "college student". Normally we do not say a gender with this phrase unless someone asks if the person is male or female. otherwise it is just a general term for someone to use.
We do not differentiate between male and female student. We use the same for both make and female.
The most common phrase depends on the country you are living in. For example, in Ireland we call third level education college, therefore we call them "College students''.
But in New Zealand they call third level education university. Therefore they call them "University students''.
The word 'student' can mean a male or a female. There is no specific word for a female student. You would just have to insert the word 'female' so that the person knows which gender it is.
Example;
- I am a female university student.
- I am a female college student.
In English, there is no specific term used for a female university student; however, you may use the following terms:
-University student
-Student
-Female student
You may use these terms in a sentence in the following ways:
-Sam is a university student. She is a top student in her class.
-Female students make up 57% of the student population.
In English, there is no distinction between female and male university students. That is to say, they both males and females are known collectively as university students. If you want to be more specific you must say whether they are male or female.
In some countries university students are known as college students.
"She is attending the University of Tokyo, she is a female university student"
"She is going to NYU. She is a female college student"
In the United States, we don't classify university students by gender. They will simply be regarded as university or college students, regardless of gender. There are a few universities that are classified as all-womens colleges (a few examples being Bryn Mawr and Wellesley), but the students that go there are still referred to as university students.
This title is a literal way to refer to a woman who is currently studying at University. If you use the sentence: She is a University Student, there is no need to use female in this sentence because you already referred to the fact that she is a female by using: "she".
In English we do not have one specific word that means 'female student'. Student is not gender specific therefore can be applied to people who identify as either sex. To distinguish between masculine and feminine students we would refer to 'male students' and 'female students', for example:
- At our university, we have a higher number of female students studying psychology.
- We have a lower intake of female students compared to previous years.
Well, in some way you can always introduce a gender word or phrase which explains the sex of the student. Eg 'Ann is a university student.' Or, 'There is a student at the university who always wears pink dresses.' Otherwise the above two suggestions are perfectly clear.
In America, during the early years of higher education the schools were all male or single sex schools. Once women were allowed to go to these schools they were considered "co-eds". In more recent years, the term student became more widely used and is what most people use to describe any person studying in school.
