college-goers

Higher education pupils

College-goers are people who attend college.

The term emphasizes the activity of going rather than mere enrollment: College-goers in this town tend to stick around after graduation.

It often appears in discussions comparing populations—college-goers versus non-college-goers, or college-goers versus high school students.
