Which German term means 'fellow student'?

• A. Betreuer(in)
• B. Kommilitone, Kommilitonin
• C. Schulabschlussprüfung/ ~zeugnis
• D. Austauschstudent(in)

Answer: (B)

When you want to refer to someone you study with in the same university, the standard word is Kommilitone for a male student or Kommilitonin for a female student. It specifically means a person who is a fellow student in your class or program, sharing courses and campus life. That makes it the best fit for “fellow student.” Betreuer(in) is a supervisor or mentor, not a peer; Schulabschlussprüfung/Zeugnis refers to a final exam certificate, not a person; and Austauschstudent(in) means an exchange student from another institution, not someone in your own cohort.
