Fellow student

Hi teachers,

1. Would "their classmates" be same "their fellow students"?

2. 'John married his fellow student.' To me this sentence sounds like John was the teacher and he married one of his students.

3. Is 'fellow classmates" same as 'classmates of same equvalence'?

Thank you.

"Fellow," in this context, is used to refer to one's peers.

Hi,

1. Would "their classmates" be same "their fellow students"? Yes, if you are talking about people in the same class. But 'fellow students' could also refer eg to all the other students in your school.

2. 'John married his fellow student.' To me this sentence sounds like John was the teacher and he married one of his students.

Your wording is awkward. You probably mean "equal standing" or "equal rank" but I don't really know when you would ever say such a thing unless you are comparing academic records.
