'der Schüler' and 'der Studi' can both refer to people who are learning or studying. The important difference is the place and stage of life. A Schüler attends a school, usually before university. A Studi studies at a university or college. Also, 'Studi' is colloquial and fits better in casual conversations. The words can be confused because both people study and are often young. In practice: school: Schüler. University or college: Studi.
