Probably the most intelligent in the class. She honestly seems so perfect, but there has to be something about her that isnt perfect, right?Ive tried to avoid her as much as I could since we both made it clear we have partners. I honestly have a big crush on her since Ive begun realising how intelligent and nice she is. What should I do? Grab her number before our class finishes in case we both split up in the future because I will probably never see her again.

 Honestly, you've fallen for a girl that you think is perfect (and you're right, everyone has something that is undesirable) and you think that it's okay to grab this girls number in case things don't work out with your current partner... good god... I don't even know what to say but I will say this, firstly, you should not be in your current relationship if you're already looking forward to it's demise (which you subconsciously are doing and this is selfish of you, by the way). Just break up with your current girlfriend if you find this other girl more interesting but do not string your girlfriend along while she keeps the seat warm for this other chick. It's wrong.
Next, leave this other girl be and do not, in any way, interfere with HER relationship just because you aren't fully invested in yours at the moment. She knows your sentiments and if she feels the same way, she will let you know but since the two of you have established that you are BOTH in relationships, steer clear and do not actively pursue her.
That's my advice.
Good luck.

 No, you should not maintain contact ongoingly, with this female classmate.
Why?
Because you know you want more than mere friendship.
You are both within respective relationships and even though you like this girl very much, it isn't fair whatsoever, to behave this way toward your current partner.
Ask yourself these questions and be honest with yourself,
Am i being respectful and fair toward my gf?
Do i have a "conscience" and do i have good "moral integrity"?
How would i feel, if i was totally crazy about my gf and i found out she'd done this to me?
Why do i remain with a person i'm not totally happy being with?
Why stay, if i am noticing "better" suitors elsewhere?
How do i live with this dishonesty?
Do i want to "intentionally" hurt my gf?
Does my gf deserve "better"?
So, so many questions, right?
You need to stop yourself from hurting other people, because ultimately, you are hurting yourself too.
I would strongly encourage you to think about ending your relationship with your gf, because surely you know she deserves better than this.
You CANNOT have your cake and eat it too.
It's either your gf, or NOBODY, UNTIL you find the right person for you and somebody you're truly happy to be with.
You CANNOT pursue a relationship with this other girl, because she's in a relationship and besides, you don't really know her at all.
What you see in the classroom may not be what you see outside of the classroom.
Sure she may be pretty and very smart, however, you don't know her on a very personal level and the fact that she's already "involved with somebody else" means you need to back off and remain respectful of that.
She's "off limits".
If you're unhappy with your current relationship, then you owe it to your gf and to yourself, to break it off with her and go out there and find somebody you feel a much deeper connection with and somebody better for you.
Whatever you choose to do, DO NOT DESTROY OTHER PEOPLE'S RELATIONSHIPS.
Just because you are very infatuated by this other girl, doesn't mean you should pursue her.
You are clearly "using" your current gf, UNTIL something better comes along.
Surely you know this is "wrong", so make an appropriate and respectful change.

Not just because you risk being ridiculed if you decide to contact her in the future, but because by doing that you're telling yourself that you should stick with the life you don't appreciate (your' current GF), until (more likely IF) something better comes along.
If you don't like your life the way it is, change it.
Don't stay with soemone just because you don't have a better option. Create one. Be honest. Leave your gf and look for someone else. Because, it's not fair to her. I don't know what you have been telling her about how you feel and what you're wishes are, but I bet if you tell her what you told us, she won't be sticking around for much longer.

 No.
You should decide if the girl you are with now is someone you can see yourself with or not. If you can't END it with your GF.
She has a BF, so she SHOULD be off limits. Just like you shouldn't pursue her for "further use" "just in case you becomes single" WHO the F does that?!

 NOBODY is perfect. You are putting this girl on a pedestal. This is understandable when you know next to nothing about her. However, people on pedestals are very vulnerable and come crashing down at the first sign of any imperfection.
How does she feel about you? Does she give any signs that she is attracted to you? Or is the attraction one sided?
You need to either concentrate on your relationship on end it, in fairness to your partner.
As for this girl, why not connect on social media before you go your separate ways? That way you can stay in contact socially.
