studiant

Studiant is not a standard English word. In contemporary English, the term for a person who is studying at a school, college, or university is student. When stuant appears, it is usually a misspelling, an archaic variant found in some historical texts, or a transliteration in non-English contexts. The word student is the preferred form in modern usage.

The origin of the English word student is Latin studēns, meaning "one who is studying," and the term has cognates in several European languages, such as the French étudiante/étudiant. The form stuant may reflect errors or influence from these cognates. In practice, authentic English usage favors the standard spelling student.

In practice, students can be categorized by educational level, such as undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral candidates. They may be enrolled full-time or part-time and may study in universities, colleges, secondary schools, or vocational institutes. Student life commonly involves attending lectures, completing assignments, preparing for exams, participating in campus communities, and often balancing study with work or family responsibilities.

Related concepts include pupil, learner, trainee, and the student movement, which refers to organized student activism. Because stuant is not standard English, it is advisable to use student in formal writing.
