Editor: 学生 isn't a good example to make a case that 生 means student, since 学 means study. Chao gives 'student' as one sense of 生, but his example is 招生.

MSO says
[后缀] 1.(某些指人的名词后缀): 学生 student; pupil; 医生 doctor
So in their view, the 生 in 学生 doesn't necessarily mean 'student' - it means 'person'.

Plenty more meanings could be added. (You can submit if you like, Matic.)
Diff:
- 生 生 [sheng1] /to be born/to give birth/life/to grow/raw, uncooked/
# + 生 生 [sheng1] /to be born/to give birth/life/to grow/raw, uncooked/student, see also 学生/
+ 生 生 [sheng1] /to be born/to give birth/life/to grow/raw/uncooked/student/
