React Component Does Not Mount - reactjs

Question

I am in need of some help. I'm working on a create-react-app using React-Router. The issue that I'm seeing is that when I run my app, I should be able to see individual student information when I click on their name. Instead, nothing renders.
Here is the code for the component (students.js) that is not rendering:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';
export default class Student extends Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.state = {
studentInfo: {}
}
}
componentDidMount(){
console.log('fired')
axios.get(`http://localhost:3005/students/${this.props.match.params.id}`)
.then(res => {
this.setState({studentInfo: res.data})
})
.catch(err => console.log(err))
}
render() {
return (
<div className="box">
<h1>Student:</h1>
<h1>{this.state.studentInfo.first_name}
{this.state.studentInfo.last_name}</h1>
<h3>Grade: {this.state.studentInfo.grade}</h3>
<h3>Email: {this.state.studentInfo.email}</h3>
</div>
)
}
}
I have tried a console.log in the componentDidMount method of my students.js file to see if it is mounting properly and I found that it would not fire. When I tried to check state with the React Dev Tools, I saw that there was no state.
I have a similar component called classList.js that has a similar setup that is working properly.
classList.js:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';
import {Link} from 'react-router-dom';
export default class ClassList extends Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.state = {
students: []
}
}
componentDidMount(){
axios.get(`http://localhost:3005/students?
class=${this.props.match.params.class}`)
.then(res => {
this.setState({students: res.data});
})
.catch(err => console.log(err))}
render() {
const students = this.state.students.map((student,i) =>
<Link key={i} to={`/student/${student.id}`}><h3>{student.first_name}
{student.last_name}</h3></Link>
)
return (
<div className="box">
<h1>{this.props.match.params.class}</h1>
<h2>ClassList:</h2>
{students}
</div>
)
}
}
I've checked my routes and my link tags and they seem fine.
Routes.js:
import React from 'react';
import {Switch, Route} from 'react-router-dom';
import Home from './components/Home/Home';
import About from './components/About/About';
import ClassList from './components/ClassList/ClassList';
import Student from './components/Student/Student'
export default (
<Switch>
<Route exact path='/' component={Home} />
<Route path='/about' component={About} />
<Route path='/classlist/:class' component={ClassList} />
<Route path='student/:id' component={Student} />
</Switch>
)
Any thoughts? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it doesn't find the student route because you're missing an /
<Route path='student/:id' component={Student} />
should be
<Route path='/student/:id' component={Student} />
