//for loop cycles though all items in the array
// for in loop cycles though all objects
//key represents each object {} name (ex) name:, track:
// students[i][key] prints out everything in that object: ex things in quotes
for(var i = 0; i<students.length; i+=1){
for(var key in students[i]){
print("<li><B>" + key + ": " +"</B>" + students[i][key] + "</li>"+"");
}
print("</ul>");
print("------------------" + "<br>")
}
This is what i have so far, not sure how else to style it to show where one object ends and the other begins.

print("<ul>");
Then, since you're inner loop works by key, you'd need some extra code to determine which one is first. Perhaps a boolean that is set in the outer loop and cleared once the first item has been printed?
But it's also something that can easily be done just with CSS:
li:first-child { font-weight: bold; }
