<p>freshman, sophomore, junior, senior? even if you haven't finished college, say the one you liked best so far.</p>
<p>Junior year is best, you've been around long enough to make lifelong friends, go to parties, go to bars(21 hopefully), found what major you are in, make it in college, etc.
Senior year, you're looking for a job and have one foot out the door.
Freshman year can be good at getting wasted and making new friends, but you might have to get used to the new rigors of college(ie classes).
Sophmore year is kinda like freshman except without the perks. You also gotta choose your major.</p>
<p>I liked Junior year best, nuf said.</p>
<p>Depends on what you're considering. I'm currently a Junior.</p>
<p>In terms of romantic relationships - freshman year - it was a lot easier to meet and get closer to new people.</p>
<p>In terms of parties - freshman year/junior year tied. Freshman year I had no responsibilities, junior year I can drink whenever I want.</p>
<p>In terms of personal growth - Sophomore year - I really became an adult here.</p>
<p>In terms of intellectual growth - Junior year - I think I've made a big leap. </p>
<p>In terms of grades - Junior Year - I drop 3.9's like its hot.</p>
<p>In terms of sitting around and having fun with your friends - Freshman year, hands down.</p>
<p>I'll list them in order of goodness</p>
<p>Freshman year - hanging with friends, easy as hell, life is still a great mystery</p>
<p>Sophomore year - you're better at studying=better grades, but theres more work so you can't mess around so much. You start getting into your major. </p>
<p>Junior year - so much work, all your old friends are gone, you got a job on the side</p>
<p>Senior year - you are cynical about the world, theres nothing to look forward to, you are alone, and do your work only because there is nothing left to do.</p>
<p>hmm, I think each year is unique and really depends on the person...</p>
<p>Freshmen year--transitional year, many people love the relationships but there are also those who struggle with the transition; for me, I definitely had an "easy" year, so this definitely wasn't a slacking or partying year for me</p>
<p>Sophomore year--I'd agree that this is a huge growth year; it's where you make critical decisions that will effect the rest of your college career; often this is when you first demonstrate how involved you'll be in your school and it's difficult to get involved after sophomore year if you don't do it now</p>
<p>Junior year--fun year; lots of prep for sr yr; if you plan to do med school, grad school, etc., this is when you really have to get serious with applications, standardized tests, etc., since many apps will be due near the beginning of your sr yr</p>
<p>Senior year--this is probably the most emotionally intense since you're simultaneously handling the transition out of college with all the terminations of close relationships while also trying to find jobs and figure out what the heck you're going to do with your life</p>
<p>Some good stuff's already been said.</p>
<p>The novelty of freshman year makes it memorable. I suppose some people might deal with issues like being homesick but I didn't.</p>
<p>I didn't turn 21 until the friday before finals week my junior year and I had some classes I really disliked, so that year definitely is my least favorite.</p>
<p>Senior year, stressful because of applying to med school, and worrying about what I'd do if I didn't get in, but once I got my acceptances back, it was far and away the best semester.</p>
<p>First year... easily.</p>
<p>After that it's just downhill.</p>
<p>I personally didn't like freshman year that much. It takes me a while to find friends I enjoy being with.</p>
<p>Well I hated my first year...so let's hope it gets better....UMich was not what I expected at all.</p>
<p>Well, I don't have a specific year of school, but I will say that most of 2006 was awesome. That was the second semester of my freshman year and first semester of my sophomore year (plus the summer in between) and from like February when I met most of my friends, until like Thanksgiving-ish time, was really great. The first half of 2007 (second sem. sophomore) sucked major monkey butt. My junior year, 2007-2008 has been alright, nothing exciting but nothing bad really. I'm hoping my senior year is going to rock it (starting with my trip to france this summer!!)</p>
<p>^this is the third time i heard you talk about going to France lol </p>
<p>thank you for the comments guys, keep them comming :)</p>
<p>lol, I'm really excited about it??
It's going to be the first time I've ever been out of the US and I can't wait! Even though I'm only going to be gone for a month, I really want to improve my french (a guy who went last year spoke much better than the rest of us in a french class I had this spring) and also see other parts of the world. We're going to Amsterdam and maybe la C</p>
<p>this year Senior year. Because I don't need to be here anymore, I don't like it here, don't like the people here. etc. I can't wait to get out of this place on 5/20.</p>
<p>for me and i think most the upperclassmen years are better. you're more estabslihed, have some solid friends, are possibly in leadership roles, know you're way around... minimal awkwardness and unknown</p>
<p>Junior year first semester SUCKED first semester because I was overloaded with my major courses. But it turned right around when I went abroad second semester and it's been uphill since. Yes, applying to grad school was very stressful but I was excited to do it because I waited so long!</p>
<p>So I guess, given the ups and downs, senior year was the best year because I didn't have constant mental breakdowns as I used to despite extreme stress that I was under from doing my thesis.</p>
<p>well ive only done freshman year but second semester was ONE MILLION times better than first. first was so crazy, just meeting people every single day and the uncertainty of not knowing who your friends are. i also was "hanging out" with the wrong people, not forming as close relationships with them for many reasons, they were really just friends of convienence casue they lived in my hall. didnt really communicate much with my roommate after the first month and a half. i thought the work was sooo much but in perpective it wasnt that bad at all.</p>
<p>second i went on this weekend retreat that gave me alotttt of perspective. stopped faking it and stopped hanging out with those friends i didnt even really like. branched out and had so much fun finding friends who really suited me. better parties, NOT all staying in tiny frosh dorms and playing pong. new roommate who i became really close with even though we had completely diff friends. mcuh harder courses and some summeritis at the end. one GPA killer course</p>
<p>and i think sophmore year is going to be 100000x better than freshman. acutally living on main campus, no communal bathrooms, meeting more people, more good times, harder classes but still jsut hte beginning.</p>
<p>jr year will be exciting cause of abroad but im not expecting much from the semester that im acutally at school. senior year = mad parties and just freaking out about graduating</p>
<p>hahah this got really indepth. i have alot to expect and look forward to!</p>
<p>^ i read this post 2 times, lol, dont know why :) thanks beanieboo</p>
<p>AUlostchick: I lived in France for 3 years and my brother was born there (have gone back like 6 times for vacation) (im not French) but anyways, you'll like it and that month will pass you by SO fast :) enjoy!</p>
<p>Totally agree with beanieboo.</p>
<p>(I also just finished freshman year)</p>
<p>France is very fun during summer !!! trust me i am french ! enjoy !</p>
<p>Probably senior year. Although its uncertainty makes it the scariest, and you are not necessarily as motivated as you were freshman year, it's nice closing one chapter of your life and moving on to the next.</p>
