Rules in the college changed a lot since I was a sophomore… freshers have been given more freedom, sophomores have been given more responsibilities and seniors have been asked to present their projects on time.
There are several colleges who encourage their sophomores to live on the campus as the studies have shown that those sophomores who leave university campus and live in the nearby residential faciliites are more vulnerable to distractions and are more prone to dropping out.
As our football club has more sophomores but fewer seniors, our team manager and team coach are planning to invite more experienced and recognised players from the other clubs.
