A student or member of a college, particularly one associated with a specific residential college within a university.
From college plus the suffix -r or -er (one who). This term is most commonly used in British universities with the collegiate system, especially Oxford and Cambridge.
At Oxford and Cambridge, being a 'colleger' (member of a specific college) is more important to your identity than being a university student—it shapes your friendships, loyalties, and even career networks.
