First Year, Second Year, Third Year, Fourth Year
Instead of freshman, sophomore, junior, senior. Why? To be a “senior” implies that a person has reached the final phase of learning, a feat that Mr. Jefferson believed impossible, arguing instead that education is a life-long process.
Freshman is too nice a wordCAA Flagship wrote:The school will no longer use the terms "Freshman" or "Freshmen" for their underclassmen. They will use "1st Year" instead. Apparently the former terms are sexist.
UVA has not used Freshmen (or Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors) for as long as I know. They use 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Year, but the change had nothing to do with sexism.

Has to do with snobism. Mrs is a UVA grad and heaven forbid you say "freshman" or "campus". It's "first year" and "grounds" and none of the students or alum are shy about correcting you. I make a point of using "campus" as much as I can.CAA Flagship wrote:UVA has not used Freshmen (or Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors) for as long as I know.

That's probably more Duke than UVA, but close.Grizalltheway wrote:Da fuq? Sounds like a bunch of Harry Potter dorks.89Hen wrote: Has to do with snobism.
