Django Design Reusable Apps?

I am developing Django application, but still have confusion over apps design pattern, let say my application has models like follow.

Django

apps

class Department(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)

class Student(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)

department = models.ForeignKey(Department)


As u see student model has relation of department = models.ForeignKey(Department)

department = models.ForeignKey(Department)

In This case should i need to create separate apps for department and student or is it good enough to create custom_app with both department and student models ?

department

student

custom_app

department

student

You don't have to create app for each model. App is more high level thing. You can logically think of app name which contains both models: for example, 'university' or 'practice' or even 'students' that will contain all the business logic of interaction with this models. Below you can create another app that could have any other models. Just try to link each model to only one app if you can
