    There are no special names. Also, you count using "Semester", not years, because in many fields of study you can start twice a year (both in the Sommer- and in the Wintersemester). So it's "Erstsemester", "Zweitsemester", "Drittsemester", and so on.

    Sometimes "die Erstsemester" is shortened to "die Ersties": Heute habe ich in der Mensa einen ganzen Haufen Ersties gesehen. Mann, waren die vielleicht laut!
