i like the american system because all the terms make sense once you look into them. the term “freshman” dates back to the 16th century, and it basically means “novice” or “newcomer.”

sophomore is my favorite, though, the roots of the word (sophos and moros, Greek) literally meaning “wise fool”, which I think we can all relate to.

"junior" means "younger" or "younger of the two", speaking in relation to upperclassmen/seniors. "senior" means "older of the two" or "advanced student." They’re both derived from Latin. :)
