Okay, so I'm heading to college next fall, and I was wondering something.

When it comes to the social aspect of it, are college freshman treated the same way that high school freshman are? High school freshman are seen as young, annoying, immature, and most people think it's disgusting for a senior to date a freshman. Everyone likes to make fun of the freshman and can't take them seriously.

So, are college freshman seen in the same light by their upperclassmen?

[xstarBURST]

No... basically when your in college, your a nobody and nobody cares about who you are an who you were in high school. So basically your treated the same, it's hard to tell whether if your a freshman or a 2nd year, since there's people transferring in and out of the school. But if you act annoying, immature and all that then yes people are obviously gonna label you as a freshie.

[pockified]

Um... there's a 4 year difference between HS freshies and college freshmen... you're 18 already, so you're expected to act like an adult. Sorry to say, but high school freshies can be really immature and annoying. In college, there are no stereotypes or boundaries between making friends of different ages. I hang out with college seniors and treat them like they're the same age as me. I sometimes forget the age difference until they start blabbering about grad school and stuff that I haven't worried about yet. So no, people in college are not annoyed at incoming freshmen unless they act like idiots themselves. In fact, they were all very nice to me when I was a freshman last year. They usually come up to me and ask me what I think of UCSD, if I'm having fun in college, etc.

I have to say different -- in some ways freshmen are really the same, just because they're new to the institution. Just like freshmen in High school, they get lost, seem annoying and haven't adjusted. Though transfers can be like that at the same time.

Though there's no problem with seniors dating freshmen, freshmen are overall still seen as young, immature and annoying for the most part. The difference is that it's not as big of a deal as it was in high school.

main difference...
when u see a freshman HS girl... EHHHHH...
when you see a freshman college girl... GAME ON!

[josebiwasabi]

no, most college freshmen aren't retarded.

[hellohello01]

We have this unwritten rule where you are not allowed to date a freshman. This is because freshman mature SO much during their first year.

[bonbons]

no on so many levels.

there's a big difference between the maturity level of a 14 year old and an 18-19 year old. depends though. and in college no one gives a crap if you were popular or not.

[avant-garde]

High school social life is the most vain thing that exists today. When I was in high school, I did not make an effort to distinguish between who was "cool" and who wasn't. To me, the attitude of judging someone based on how "cool" and "always-watch-my-own-back" behavior was just annoying.

high school freshmen < college freshmen


college was way cooler!

[losborrachos]

i didn't spend high school here and i was like 20 when i started college, but i think freshmen are annoying and immature, at least where i go to college. though i don't care much about seniors dating freshmen or whatever--as long as it's legal, why should it matter? so last year i worked as a decorator at the freshman dining hall, and it's very easy to tell freshmen apart from the rest of the students, basically because they act like they're still in high school. you know, they're still way into cliques, they still care a lot about appearances (really, who remembers to curl their hair before a film theory finals?), they still skip classes to party and whatnot. then come sophomore year, people move off campus, declare their majors, start getting jobs, and they somehow get assimilated into the rest of the student body.

[영원한 사랑]

This is such a stereotype.
Not all high school freshman are annoying and immature, same goes with college freshman.
It depends who you meet.

[bananafish]

Definitely not.

When I was in high school the freshman kids try and act cool and show off whatever they have.
In college...I noticed people are more mature and they really focus on school work.
