How to say “师兄/师姐”in English? 师兄/师姐”，or“师弟/师妹”，is from Chinese martial arts culture.Fellows learning from the same master（师父）are“senior/junior male/female fellow apprentices”. As the saying goes ,“The master teaches the trade,but the apprentice's skill is self-made”（师父领进门，修行在个人）. To traslate“师兄/师姐”into English,we have to describe instead of using single words. 如： * We're both majoring in business at Ohio University.（我们是在俄亥俄大学学商务的同门。） * She shares the same major as me but is senior/junior to me.（她是跟我同专业的师姐/师妹。） * He's in my same major but a year ahead.（他是跟我同专业的上届师兄。） * He's in my major but a year below/behind me.（他是跟我同专业的下届师弟。） “Alumnus”（校友）may be the closest word in English to refer to students who're studying in or have graduated from the same major at the same university.But a sentence like “John and I are both alumni of Ohio University”indicates both John and the speaker have graduated.
