<p>Just curious. I would think Sophomore year because you are adjusted to the life and still meeting new people and partying and most likely still on campus. Im only in high school so i dont know... And is life after college fun too. Do you still have fun with friends and stuff? </p>
<p>Sophomore year is stereotyped as the worst, actually. The “sophomore slump” and all that.</p>
<p>In my own experience, every year was great. I think I liked sophomore year and on better than the first year. The adjustment can be hard, but beyond that it was actually the best.</p>
<p>So far, I haven’t found post-college life to be nearly as fun. I guess you have more money to have fun with, but beyond that I haven’t found it to be as fun. It might have something to me living in what is, reports say, the unhappiest city in the US.</p>
<p>Life is what you make it, regardless of your situation. Different years can be fun for entirely different reasons. Freshman year is a new and exciting experience. Sophomore year is fun because you already have friends from freshman year who you’re being reunited with after summer. You’ve become a more integrated part of the school and you’re still taking a wide range of classes and learning new things.</p>
<p>Junior and senior year, you’re getting to really know the people within your major because you’re past most of the gen ed classes. You have established friends and you still have plenty of opportunities to meet new people. Junior and senior year often have the perk of being 21+. This opens up new opportunities to go to bars and clubs, or any other venue that is only for 21+. </p>
<p>Post college is fun because you’ve built up a network of friends and associates throughout your undergrad years. If you’re going on to grad school, you’re going to have very different responsibilities, but you’re also going to be meeting other people that are truly dedicated to the field that they’re in. If you’re a physics major in grad school, you’re going to be meeting a lot of other physics majors that are also in grad school. The opportunities for exposure to new ideas and new ways of approaching topics can be great. </p>
<p>It’s different for everyone. Going into it thinking “sophomore year is going to be the year that is the most fun, so I have to live it up” is a poor way of approaching it. Just try to make every moment of it as fun as possible, without ignoring your responsibilities. </p>
<p>DS told us that most in his circle think sophomore is the best year. Many have close friends by that time and nobody has studied abroad yet.</p>
<p>I think it’ll be the upcoming 2nd year for me because I graduate in 3.
Freshman year you’re a little shy and not very involved at first. Furthermore, the coursework is about the same level as an AP class of high school and you’re below everyone / get treated as a freshman.</p>
<p>2nd year there’ll be people younger than me, the classes start to get in-depth and interesting, and at this point I get to be highly involved in campus activities.</p>
<p>3rd’s what I call a career oriented year… I probably will have to give up some commitments to focus on internships, senior project, but then I’ll have the freedom to take all my engineering electives and have a little fun there.</p>
<p>Do you think you still keep your friends from undergrad if you go to say med school? Because i want to go to med school but i also want to enjoy my life while im young, going out with friends and stuff. </p>
<p>It all depends on how close you are. A lot of college friends go their own separate ways after graduation. Some friendships formed in the undergraduate years can last a lifetime though. </p>
<p>It would be different for everyone I suppose. I least liked freshman year because I have never really liked big changes and the coursework isn’t normally as interesting as it is in the later years. I really liked Sophomore year because of my friends, professors and coursework. </p>
<p>I feel like my junior year was my best so far. I was finally in a major that I enjoyed, and I got closer to a lot of my more casual friends. Freshman year was also awesome because everything was exciting and new. I wasn’t a huge fan of sophomore year because I was in a major I hated, and it was socially kinda stagnant - not as exciting freshman year and not as bonding as junior year was. Now, I’m going into my senior year, so I hope it’s even better than the last because it would suck to peak at 20/21. </p>
