Morphology
The meaning 'a person enrolled at a college' is directly and compositionally derived from 'college' (an institution of higher education) + 'student' (someone engaged in learning). This simple noun–noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
College student comes from the simple image of a person learning at a college. The word student means someone who studies, so college student means 'a person enrolled at a college or university'.
