Freshers? That’s a new word.
In my experience, it usually originates from India, but it’s catching on in the UK too.
It was at least common in (my part of) the UK when I was in university over a decade ago
but it’s catching on in the UK too.
Really? I thought it is a UK thing as well because we use the word here in Ireland.
it's been used very commonly in the UK since at least the mid-2000s.
Late 90s in Wales, from personal experience :)
How do you guys call em?
Is it refering to people in their first year of university? If so in the US they are referred to as freshmen.
