	The Freshman Counselor Program
		Freshman counselors were made a part of Yale College's advising system in 1938 and with the addition in 1972 of a special group of ethnic counselors are an intrinsic and essential characteristic of Yale's educational program for freshmen.
		Freshman counselors are appointed by Yale College and are thus placed in a position of responsibility for freshmen that is institutional in its nature.
		While the responsibilities of the freshman counselor are heavy, and the demands made on the counselor's time and energy are great, the experience a counselor enjoys in participating in the education and life of his or her freshmen is one of incalculable richness and satisfaction.

	Antique Radio Classified: The Freshman Polydyne
		It seems that the Polydyne was created close to the end of the Freshman Company's existence, before it merged with Freed-Eisemann in November 1928.
		I have theorized that if the sets were sold directly to the department stores and not via the jobbers, it stands to reason that the Polydyne would not have been advertised much, if at all, in the trade magazines.
		I believe and this is simply my opinion that Freshman may have contracted with some local cabinetmakers (it is known that Sonora made some console cabinets for him) to make a few high-end cabinets to sell to some of the more upscale stores.

	The Freshman (1925) \| The Stop Button
		He plays an incoming freshman desperate to be popular, but he’s full of geeky ideas of college he’s picked up from a movie.
		The Freshman is so lean, it doesn’t even bother giving Lloyd fellow geeks to hang around (he’s the star after all), just the antagonists, who vary in terms of hostility.
		The Freshman moves incredibly fast--since it is that gag string--and it’s constantly entertaining.

	Fighting the Freshman Fifteen
		It's the "freshman 15" - those extra pounds that almost magically appear on the bodies of young women across the country between the time they leave for college to their return home in December during the holiday break.
		College life is uncharted terrain for freshman, but no matter which path a young woman takes, there will be plenty to eat and drink along the way.
		It can result in "the Freshman 15," a term that may sound like a musical group or a football team but actually refers to a phenomenon noted by dietitians, doctors and horrified parents after that first collegiate term of unsupervised eating and drinking: Often, freshman women -and sometimes men -gain 15 pounds.

	Beating the Freshman 15
		Everyone's heard warnings about the "freshman 15," but is it true that many college students pack on 15 pounds during their first year at school?
		Researchers at Cornell University found that students gained an average of 4 pounds during the first 12 weeks of their freshman year - a rate of gain that is 11 times higher than the typical weight gain for 17- and 18-year-olds.
		Not everyone's destined to gain the full frosh 15, though: A multi-year study by researchers at Tufts University found that, on average, men gain 6 pounds and women gain 4.5 during their first year of college.

	Negotiating the Freshman Year: Challenges and Strategies Among First-Year College Students Journal of College Student ...
		Strategy is useful for considering freshman transitions because it recognizes the part that students play in managing their experiences and actions in college.
		Because sociological theories propose that situations occurring outside of the institution also influence students' transitions to college, it is reasonable to suggest that managing those external experiences may similarly require students to devise strategies.
		The purpose of this study is to explore and expand the concept of strategies as a means for gaining a deeper understanding of how students negotiate the transition to college.

	The "Freshman 15"

		I shall never forget as a freshman asking my senior roommate how to spell a word, and, without looking up from his reading, he reached for his dictionary and threw it in my direction.

		What did have her scared was the thought of falling victim to the "Freshman 15" - the 15 pounds students are reputed to gain in their first year of college because of late-night eating, snacking, and grazing on buffet lines.

	The Freshman Difference
		By reaching every Freshman every year we will automatically be reaching every other influence group, since all of them must pass through the Freshman class.
		It is probably less of a "faith barrier" for a sophomore to share her faith with a Freshman than a Senior.
		As we reach every Freshman every year and are faithful in giving everyone the opportunity for building, training, and sending as they pass through the ranks, we are, from the human side of things, insuring all that could be involved are in fact involved.

	The Freshman . Austin Chronicle . 08-25-97
		Broderick, a perennial favorite of mine, is the titular idealistic film student who finds himself victimized by a scam artist (Kirby) only 19 minutes after his arrival in New York City.
		What follows is a perfectly hilarious tale about what might be the mob (headed by a very Godfather-ish Brando), an elaborate "importing" scheme, the perils of film school, and a large Komodo dragon.
		With dead-on performances (Whaley and Kirby could both keep the film afloat on their own) and enough film references to keep the most dedicated cinephile interested, The Freshman is a woefully underlooked movie (that fortunately comes on cable all the time).
