I want to call one of my friend, who is not Japanese, by adding -chan or -kun
to his name. The friend is a student of Japanese as myself from the same
group. A male, not homosexual. I think he's about the same age as myself. We
are friends but not extremely close friends, but friends during the classes
and sometime chat outside. Based on that do I use -chan or -kun?

When in doubt between -chan and -kun what to choose?
Kun! chan is very cutesy. Kun is more usable among colleagues/fellow scholars.
