Update on my 'first year' note from VT orientation yesterday ...

Was told that they use 'first year' ONLY in orientation because that process also includes transfers and military veterans. 18 year-olds coming to college for the first year are still called 'freshmen'.

So at least we have that.

I can see why you wouldn't donate to academics. VT English department -- Late 80s Hokie 07/19/2018 09:48AM
