I was more after the code around what you have here.
How are you obtaining the student instance which you are passing in to this method?
Do you have a get method on this class which does :

Code:

students.get(n);

somewhere in it? like:

Code:

public Student findWithName(String name) {
  Student student = null;
  Iterator<Student> iterator = students.iterator();
  while(null == student && iterator.hasNext()) {
    Student potential = iterator.next();
    if(potential.getName.equalsIgnoreCase(name)) {
      student = potential;
    }
  }
  return student;
}

If this is the case then passing the returned student into the remove function should work, however if you have created a new instance of Student then this may not work.
Can you show me the code which calls remove and also the code for Student?

Thanks.
