There is どうはい (douhai) 同輩 and probably others as well. Since I can't check on anything else at the moment, I hope that makes sense besides being the first thing that came to mind.
I agree, 同輩 sounds very formal and is not used in daily conversation.
In business (within a company) also sometimes in college/universities as well, 同期 (douki) can be used.

Yes, I've also seen 同期 for company associates (同期入社) and I've also seen 同僚 (douryou) used loosely as "colleague" for a same age and same level relationship in business terms. Now that I think about it, 同輩 only in writing.
Thanks undrentide !

I understand the Japanese and assume that women use さん for even their juniors (to other 後輩 women they may use ちゃん？） and men for their 先輩。
I wonder if men may also sometimes attach 君 to lower male colleagues ?)
Yes, that's what I was talking about. How they are addressed. I don't especially feel like writing it all out in English for this thread, but since we're already on (off) the subject, if undrentide wants to respond I hope she will understand.
