"Ce que j'aime le plus au mois de juin, c'est me la couler douce"   - is "la" a substitution for la vie here?

Hello! Can I ask why a student (étudiant) is count as a profession. I met this in one of the quizes and there was no article in front of it. Thank you in advance!

Couple of queries:-

In the sentence ' As I grew up, it was her melancholy ...' the advice is to use c'est. Why not c'était?

and,

In the sentence 'Barbara, as you used to sing (it) so perfectly, our most beautiful love story will always be you., the 'it' refers to the 'love story' which is feminine so 'comme tu le chantais' should be 'la'?

Thanks

Could you explain why the English "Yes, I agree with you." would be translated to the French "Oui, j'accorde avec toi."?  I would have thought it would be "Oui, je suis d’accord avec toi" and even Google Translate renders it that way.  Not that I am saying Google Translate is authoritative, but I don't really recall "j'accorde" even being in that lesson.  But I will go back and look for it again.  Thanks.

(Added a couple of minutes later: I did another quiz and this time it agreed with my "Oui, je suis d’accord avec toi".)

I’m confused about why the possessive of “Ils” in this lesson is “se“ rather than “ses“?

I understood from the lesson that one could say,

Qu'est-ce que c'est la Sorbonne? or Qu'est-ce que la Sorbonne? but the answer of the quiz gives the first answer as wrong and the second correct? Have I missed something or are they both correct?
