'der Student' and 'die Studentin' both refer to a person who studies at a university or college. The difference is gender. 'der Student' is used for a male person, while 'die Studentin' is used for a female person. They can easily be confused because they look almost the same and are used in the same context. Pay special attention to the article: 'der' goes with 'Student', and 'die' goes with 'Studentin'. If gender is not important or several people are meant, you often hear 'Studierende' (students).
