Student 学生

Students are those lucky few who can afford to stay in school long after it started to cost them to do so. They live to learn, and they put their education to the best possible use in most situations.

Characteristics

Students begin with 1 major of their choice, but they don’t restrict themselves to learning only one subject. Instead, they gain cursory knowledge of most topics, which aids them in a variety of ways.
