Hi,

Neither of them is a sentence. Besides, I'm not sure what you mean ... are both girls and women students or are there two groups in your phrase, girls (who are students) and women (who are not)?

I think what Renjithvsathyan wants to know is whether girls who are students are called 'girl students' or 'girls students'. I think he is referring to the girls in primary schools.

On the other hand, there are women who attend a class for adults. He wants to know whether they are referred to as 'woman students' or 'women students'.

Hi,

Then I think you'd typically hear 'female primary students', 'female adult students'.

Hi

The following examples are from BNC. Maybe it is BrE.

http://sara.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/cgi-bin/H7.html#H7E 1032 Much of the routine work was done by girl students eager to earn a little extra towards their fees.

If the question is only whether you should say "woman students" or "women students", then I would agree that "women students" would be the one to use.

I don't think this is a question of BE vs AmE.

Hi,

You'll certianly find examples of it being said in a variety of ways.

At the same time, I have noticed that women academics can be ruthless bullies of girl students, with the possibly laudable motive of giving them the equivalent of a good shake.

With regard to this one, I want to add a comment. The term 'academic' suggest this deals with the University level. If so
