Student exposed as yob (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lout

'yob' is the definition.
(both can mean an antisocial young man)

'student exposed' is the wordplay.
'student' becomes 'L' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'exposed' becomes 'out' (to out someone is to expose them).
'l'+'out'='LOUT'

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lout that I've seen before include "Antisocial person" , "A noisy, badly-behaved youth" , "A noisy coarse youth" , "Yahoo" , "'Rude, ill-mannered fellow (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
