Why do people list "student" under the experience section of their online profiles?

Is it me, or do you guys think it's really stupid looking to see someone's profile, and under the "Experience" section they list "Student" or "MBA Candidate?" Also, I'm looking forward to who could have the meanest/funniest comment about me lmao

Because they have a strange fear of gaps in the resume.

My graduate school "experience" is in the education section where it belongs
