Quick Question regarding who/what

Would you go with "who" or "what" in this sentence:

College student demographics -- who they are, how they differ, ....

or

College student demographics -- what they are, how they differ...

and...

should "College student" be hyphenated so that it reads "College-student demographics"

?

Thanks for your help!
