If they have the same size, they will hit the ground at the same time. If the heavier student is larger than the lighter one, the lighter student will hit first. This is because a change in mass does not change the rate at which you are accelerated by gravity. The only thing that matters is the acceleration caused by drag; a body with more drag is slowed more and thus arrives later.
