What does 「学生さんなんですか」 mean?


> 学生さんなんですか？

Is she asking the name of the school I go to or what year I'm in? She was
talking about how busy she's been at work and I told her I was busy with my
studies as well and she replied with this.




As @choco points out in the comment section, 何 is a typo for なん (ん being a
contraction of の).
