new student
Recently joined classmate
A new student is someone who has recently enrolled at a school, college, or other educational institution.
The term emphasizes unfamiliarity with the environment rather than age or grade level—a transfer student in their final year is still a new student: The new student didn't know anyone at lunch.
New students typically face orientation periods and social adjustment.
