| Dec 22, 2015 at 17:11 | comment | added | Jeff Y | For undergraduates who are employed by the school itself (assisting teachers, working in the library, etc.), the term has always been "work-study" students, in my experience. For graduate students employed assisting professors in their academic fields, the term is "research assistant", or "RA", or if with their teaching tasks (e.g. grading), "teaching assistant", or "TA", again in my experience. | |

| Dec 22, 2015 at 15:59 | comment | added | Brian Donovan | As a professor in a second-tier public university in the U.S., I just call them students. Those with sufficient family (or trust-fund) financial support to attend without simultaneously holding down paid jobs are a small minority; one might almost better seek a distinguishing term for them, perhaps scholars of means. Of course, elsewhere in the world it can be a very different story. | |
