The term 'female student' can be abbreviated to 'coed', which is a four-letter word. A coed is a student who is enrolled in a college or university that offers both male and female students. Coeds are typically young adults who are pursuing higher education. They may be studying a variety of subjects, from the sciences to the humanities. Coeds often live on campus or in nearby housing, and they may participate in extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs, and student organizations.
