students = []
n = int(input('How many student do you have to enter:'))
for x in range(n):
    name = input('Enter the student name:')
    dob = input('Enter the student dob:')
    students.append({'name': name, 'dob': dob})
print('\n'.join(['name: {0}\ndob: {1}'.format(x.get('name'), x.get('dob')) for x in students]))

Why not use a `for` loop? Manually incrementing a counter in a `while` is more likely to attract typos or off-by-one errors. – Kevin Sep 14 '15 at 17:07
