Default Difference between alumno y estudiante?
I came a new word in Spanish class

"alumno"

estudiante is easier to remember but I wondered what the difference was.

according to my dictionary

alumno is someone studying in a collage or university and estudiante is a student/pupil of?

Any thoughts on this?

Do you mean "alumno"?
It is used in the same context as alumnus. It can be used interchangeably with estudiante.

I think that was Rick's attempt at a joke (sometimes they work).

I figured as much. I know my jokes usually misfire as well.

When I took my 3 Spanish classes we learned the word alumno for student as well.

I don't know for sure...but I assume they are basically interchangable..like student and pupil...or something like that...

Taking a bit of an "educated" guess there....

I thought an alumnus is a person who graduated from an institution of higher learning
