JOptionPane Drop Down Menu Java

Question

I'm trying to make a drop down menu using JOptionPane. The options I want it to have are the elements of an array list. So what i have done is create an array with elements of the array list. I want the user to be able to see the elements as options.The code I have so far is provided.

I have provided my classes for Person, Address, Student and Driver. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

package lab;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Person {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
public String name;
public String phone;
public String email;
public Address address;

public Person(String name, String phone, String email, Address address){
    this.name = name;
    this.phone = phone;
    this.email = email;
    this.address = address;
}
public Person(){}

public String getName(){
    return name;
}
public String getPhone(){
    return phone;
}
public String getEmail(){
    return email;
}
public Address getAddress(){
    return address;
}
public String toString(){
    return name + "\n" + address + "\n" + phone + "\n" + email;
}
}

Here is the Student class

package lab;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class Student extends Person{
private String studentID;
private String status;
private ArrayList<Course> courses = new ArrayList<Course>();
private Person person;
private Student student;

public Student(String id, String status, ArrayList<Course> courses, String name, String phone, String email, Address address){
    this.studentID = id;
    this.status = status;
    this.courses = courses;
    this.name = name;
    this.phone = phone;
    this.email = email;
    this.address = address;
}
public String getStudentID(){
    return studentID;
}
public String getStatus(){
    return status;
}
public ArrayList getCourses(){
    return courses;
}
public String toString(){
    return "Current Student: " + name + "\n" + studentID + "\n" + status + "\n" + address + "\n" + phone + "\n" + email;
}
}

Here is the Address class:

package lab;

public class Address {
private String number;
private String street;
private String city;
private String state;
private String zip;
public Address(String number, String street, String city, String state, String zip){
    this.number = number;
    this.street = street;
    this.city = city;
    this.state = state;
    this.zip = zip;
}
public String toString(){
    return number + " " + street + "\n" + city + "," + " " + state + "\n" + zip;
}
}

Here is the Driver class:

package lab;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Driver {
public static ArrayList<Person> students;
public static ArrayList<Course> courses;
public static ArrayList<FacultyMember> faculty;
static Scanner in;
public static int x;


public Driver()
{
    students = new ArrayList<Person>();
    courses = new ArrayList<Course>();
    faculty = new ArrayList<FacultyMember>();
}
public static void input(){
    String response = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter your name: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    String response2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter your phone number: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    String response3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter your email: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    String response4 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter your street number: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    String response5 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter your street name: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    String response6 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter your city: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    String response7 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter your state: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    String response8 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter your postal code: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    String response9 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter your student ID: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    String response10 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter your student status: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    Address anAddress = new Address(response4, response5, response6, response7, response8);
    Student aStudent = new Student(response9, response10, courses, response, response2, response3, anAddress);
    students.add(aStudent);
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, students.get(students.size()-1).toString());
}
public static void courseInput(){
    FacultyMember instructor = null;
    in = new Scanner(System.in);
    String response = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter the course identifier: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    String response2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter course title: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
    String response3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter course term: ", "A Request", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

    int n = 0;
