" The "hemo-" prefix usually refers to blood, eg. " who was like me students who were students like me "Group" may be singular or plural. But since it refers to students in the plural, I'd say it calls for a plural verb.

Thank you Avangi for explanation. I found several mistakes in my sentence.
When I was a university student, I had

Ha! I completely missed the "studied"! Also, "I had to deal with . . . . "
As an aside, note the difference in syntax between "I had to deal with," and "I had dealt with."
(totally different meanings of "had")
You still need to correct "who was like me students."
It's possible to say, "who were, like me, students." But it's unnecessarily awkwar
