A collegian is a member of a college — most often a student, sometimes anyone who belongs to that college. It is a rather formal or old-fashioned word; everyday English usually just says college student. You still see it in newspapers, school magazines, sports reports, and older books. It does not mean a colleague (a person you work with), even though the two words sit close on the page and share a distant Latin family. Though actually, in some older American writing collegian can feel almost like a job title on campus, not only “a kid in class”.
大學生、學院成員(較文言;日常多直接說大學生)
組成From Middle English collegian, from Medieval Latin collēgiānus, “of a college” — built on college.
