list = temp.toString();

A string buffer and list are differing types so that's incorrect. If you want to create a list whose elements contain the lines from the files it's:

list.add(input.nextLine());

You should be using generic lists too.

 private Node first,last;
 private int count

What are they doing in the student class? It's looks like you're thinking of implementing a linked list. If so, those attributes don't belong there. You need to give a general overview of what the student class should do, because it looks like your design is headed in the wrong direction.
