After careful consideration: plural is more appropriate than singular.

A student section has another meaning: ​https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_section

    88Anonymous users can self-register and automatically become applicants (users) of the portal. The number of applicants is not limited and, theoretically, Kofa can host hundredthousands of applicants in various applicants containers. Usually, only a few of them are beeing accepted for studying at the university. Once the application process has ended, admitted applicants are transformed into student records.  New student records are created and the data are copied from the applicant records. When this 'student creation' process is finished, the applicant records are dispensable. Aim was to provide an easy way to get rid of the huge batches of applicant records by only one click, in order to keep the database clean and tidy. The process is described further below.

    12   The term 'application' has a double meaning in English. An 'application' in computer sciences is understood as a software or web application. Software developers may get confused by using the term in a different context. To take this into account, we prefer to speak of an 'applicant' in this documentation, instead of an 'application' although, in the linguistic context, it sometimes makes more sense to speak of the latter. However, in the user interface (UI) and also in Python docstrings the term 'application' predominates.

     14In contrast to student containers, applicant containers do not contain subcontainers. The only objects they contain are applicant payment tickets (i.e. instances `ApplicantOnlinePayment`). Thus it does not make sense to speak of a  treelike structure. In contrast to the students section
