Euro Study 

 

To study means to acquire knowledge about a given subject, often by memorization or reading. Studying is the activity of a student. The methods of studying are known as study skills.


* A student who is repeating a grade level of schooling due to poor grades is sometimes referred to as having been "held back".

* The term pupil (originally a Latin term for a minor as the ward of an adult guardian etc.) is used in English primary and secondary schools instead of "student", but once attending higher education such as sixth-form college etc, the term "student" is standard.

* The United States military academies use only numerical terms, except there are colloquial expressions used in everyday speech. In order from first year to fourth year, students in these institutions are officially referred to as "fourth-class", "third-class", "second-class", and "first-class" cadets or midshipmen. Unofficially, other terms are used, for example at the United States Military Academy, freshman are called "plebes," sophomores are called "yearlings" or "yuks," juniors are called "cows," and seniors are called "firsties." Some universities also use numerical terms to identify classes; students enter as "first-years" and graduate as "fourth-years" (or, in some cases, "fifth-years", "sixth-years", etc).
