Faculty - can it mean students?
In the U.S., "faculty" means the teachers. But on here, I have seen "faculty" used often enough to mean students that I wonder if it has that meaning in other countries. Can someone who is "on the faculty" mean that that person is a student? Thanks.

Hi Barb, It's certainly used for teachers, as you know. It's also used as in I've applied to the Faculty of Modern History at XYZ University . In a sense, that's like talking about a 'department'.

- Hence, I think that when teachers speak more carefully, they might often say I'm a faculty member or I'm on/in the faculty.
- Students might also be in the Faculty of Modern History , but I don't think they speak of being faculty members.
