blockmate
Similar to classmate; the only difference is that a "blockmate" is remembered as one of a student's first classmates the moment he/she enters college the first time.
"Blockmate" may also refer to a student's classmate for the entire stay in college, although this is evidently present in colleges that arrange the students' class structure.
