just subselect the max date for the student_id in the where clause.

select students.name,
       enrollments.start,
       enrollments.finish
>from students, enrollments
where enrollments.students_id = students.id
and enrollments.start =
   (select max(e1.start)
    from enrollments e1
    where e1.student_id = students.id)
