The "freshman 15" refers to the 15 pounds you gain when you enter the dorms as a freshman in college. This is due to the fatty cafeteria foods a freshman eats and the massive quantities of beer a freshman drinks.

It's the average amount of weight that freshmen gain when they go to college.
The junk food at all hours, beer, lack of a regular exercise and irregular sleeping habits contribute to the extra pounds gained in college.
