Hi i need help with my linked list

Question

hello
im having trouble with my list
this is where i create the studentlinked list. within my constructor for my college.
public class MyCollege {
     private int capacity;
     public MyCollege(){
          StudentLinkedList studentList = new StudentLinkedList();
     }now my problem is in my add student method
here it is.
at the end of the method where i add the student to the linked list (studentList.add(aStudent);)is my problem. it says that studentList cannot be resolved.
i understand that it cant find studentList. but i am creating it.
why isnt it working???????????????????
public static void main(String[] args) {
          MyCollege mc1 = new MyCollege();
     public void addStudent(int i){
          try{
               Student aStudent = new Student();
               String name,studentNumber, programmeCode;
               int yearBegan;
               if(i < capacity){
                    // this defines the buffer that will hold the data to be input
                    BufferedReader theDataStream;
                    theDataStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
                    //enter the details of the student
                    System.out.println("Enter in the name of the student followed by their student number");
                    System.out.println("followed by the year they began in the college a and then the course code");
                    System.out.println(" hit enter after each one");
                    name = theDataStream.readLine();
                    studentNumber = theDataStream.readLine();
                    yearBegan = Integer.parseInt(theDataStream.readLine());
                    programmeCode = theDataStream.readLine();
                    aStudent.setName(name);
                    aStudent.setStudentNumber(studentNumber);
                    aStudent.setYearBegan(yearBegan);
                    aStudent.setProgrammeCode(programmeCode);
                    studentList.add(aStudent);
               }//end if
          }//end try
          catch(IOException e) {
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
     }
