* ''Literature/TheScholomance'': Freshmen are the biggest casualties of any one year at the Scholomance (even shockingly easy years like in the second book). They're the weakest wizards in the school ''and'' the most numerous, making them the prime targets for mals; at the bottom of the social hierarchy, so most of the upperclassmen, even stragglers and losers, have no issues taking advantage of them; and aren't used to life at the Scholomance yet, so they don't have the in-built reflexes and survival skills that their older peers have already developed. Those who don't learn quick are gradually winnowed out until only those who have what it takes to at least make it to next year, if not all four years, are left.

Even Lois gets in on the act, honking her car horn and announcing Chris is a freshman after dropping him off. Chris suffers so much from this that he decides to volunteer for Peace Corps work in South America in an effort to escape.
