coeds co-étudiants Explanation: -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2006-10-30 17:52:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ou co-étudiantes, le cas echéant -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 42 mins (2006-10-30 18:12:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- My understanding is fairly simple -- they played the role of someone's fellow students from the same university though that was not the case--- depends on the context. |

étudiantes universitaires Explanation: A coed is a woman student in a coeducational college or university. "Student" is gender-neutral, unlie the case in French. I imagine that when women began entering formerly all-male institutions, a need was felt for a word that would differentiate them from the men students. Colleagues correct me if need be, but its usage is on the informal side. Also, in the past, has sometimes been used with a rather negative connotation(silly, frivolous, more interested in fun and parties than studies, etc.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 45 mins (2006-10-30 18:15:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I didn't include "des institutions mixtes". I probably should have for clarity, though it does indeed sound heavy. I guess I assumed that for a Francophone readership, coeducation in higher ed would be more of a given than in the US. |

étudiants et étudiantes de classes mixtes Explanation: Il faudrait peut-être indiquer quelles autres phrases créent le contexte pour en savoir davantage. Par ailleurs, je vois mal comment on peut «jouer le rôle» d'étudiant(e)s de classes mixtes. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 43 mins (2006-10-30 18:13:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Dans ce cas, préconisons la simplicité : «Elles ont été heureuses d'agir comme hôtesses lors de nos réceptions.» -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 51 mins (2006-10-30 18:21:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Si elles n'appartiennent pas au campus, il ne sert à rien de leur chercher un qualificatif estudiantin. |

étudiante (cf. ci-dessous) Explanation: C'est ainsi que je le traduirais dans ce contexte précis. Elles étaient enthousiastes à l'idée de jouer à la fois les étudiantes et les hôtesses de (nos) soirées. |
