Process "studentd" making connections despite being a private Macbook

I don't think much info is needed past the title. Is this normal? I bought this Macbook directly from Apple. For now, I have substituted to denying the connection.

It is only sending a few kB of data up and down every two days or so, but I'm just confused as to why the Daemon is there to begin with.

Setup Assistant continues requiring internet connection after unenrolling the Mac from MDM. How to fix it? I bought a MacBook, which was enrolled in MDM. The owning organisation has unenrolled it from MDM, however, the macOS Setup Assistant still points out that the Mac is registered to an organisation and requires an internet connection. How can it be unregistered to enable macOS offline installation? I see that it is a new feature of Ventura to require an internet connection in the Setup Assistant but it should not apply to my Mac given it was legitimately unenrolled from MDM. Are there some additional procedures to take to release the Mac from the organisation completely? Attaching a screenshot with the unexpected internet connection requirement: Internet Connection Required The Mac is registered to an organisation and requires an internet connection to complete the setup. Join a Wi-Fi network or connect via Ethernet to continue.

Yes, perfectly normal. It simply checks to see if the Mac is part of a classroom.

No, but there really isn't any reason to block the process; there are literally 100s that run in the background and consume insignificant resources.

Do you think there would be any repercussions to keeping it blocked? I like to only allow things that are directly useful to me or the utility of the Mac.
