The nomenclature assigned to people in the new is often very telling. Whether an 18 yo male is a boy, a teen, a student, a man, or a perp depends on the POV of the writer.
One of the things that made reading "Into the Wild" excruciating was the author constantly calling a 24 yo man a "boy", thus absolving him of adult responsibility for his actions.

I guess with the teenagers involved and the use of the term student it made me think of a non adult. As far as the teens they could have been age 18. Whether they were students or not doesn't change the situation. In today's world it doesn't make any difference who you are affliated with. Also at that hour being out one should have their guard up........at all times.

Not sure if you are kidding but the 28 year old IS the student who got robbed by two or more teenagers (who very well may NOT be students).

Laptop taken from student
Monday, June 30, 2008 A student had a $900 laptop stolen after being assaulted during a street robbery in Jersey City early Sunday morning, police reports said. The 28-year-old man was walking home near Poplar Street and Kennedy Boulevard at 1:15 a.m., when a couple of teenagers punched him from behind, knocking him down, police said. Witnesses said the teen robbers jumped into a white getaway car parked nearby. The Kennedy Boulevard resident was treated at Christ Hospital for a swollen left eye and abrasion to his nose, reports said.
