The term "freshman fifteen" is used to the idea that first-year students often benefit as much as 15 pounds during the first year. Research studies are in disagreement about whether this is true or is it "urban rumor ".

While some research suggests that while the weight of some incoming students is the same until the end of the first year, others conclude that the first year, "could" lead to weight gain and fat. Well, Duh-uh!
