Answer 1

Like the first person said, freshmen are in their first year of high school or college, sophmores are second year, juniors are third years, and seniors are fourth years. This means that after you complete your senior year of high school, you start out as a freshman in college. The first year of high school when you are a freshmen is the ninth grade here, so about 14-15 years old.

Public high schools are free (sort of, we all pay taxes to support them but there is no tuition charged to send your kids there). Public and private colleges all charge tuition. Public colleges and universities are generally cheaper then private and 2 year community colleges are usually cheaper than 4 year universities. Tuition charges range anywhere from around $4000 a year to $30000 a year, depending on the school you go to. Thats just the tuition, there are sometimes small fees associated with certain classes, and you have to buy your books and supplies. Books average about $100.00 per class.

The only thing resembling benefits that you might get while in college and not working is student loans and grants or scholarships. The loans would really not qualify as a benefit as you have to pay them back. Grants are usually given based on financial need and do not have to be paid back. The amount a student receives can vary. Scholarships are given for a wide variety of reasons, and the amount on those varies as well.

Answer 2

We have a public education system that we attend technically for free up until year twelve. A freshman is year 9, sophomore is year 10, junior is year 11 and senior is year 12. Freshman are usually around age 13 or 14. Prior to high school we have elementry school followed by junior high school. College is when you begin paying, you must apply and be accepted where you then pay tuition etc.

Answer 3

Yes, public high school is free, and it doesn't matter if you pay your taxes or not.

Freshmen are usually 14-15, Sophomores 15-16, Juniors 16-17, Seniors 17-18

When you're going to high school, you don't get "benefits"....whatever that means.

Answer 4

There are four years of High School.
Freshmen - first year- usually 14-15 years old
Sophomore- second year- usually 15-16 years old
Junior- third year- usually 16-17 years old
Senior- fourth year- usually 17-18 years old
I don't know what you mean about benefits. Unemployment compensation maybe? I depends on what you were making before you got fired. Never had unemployment.

Answer 5

Freshman = first year in high school, and first year in college
(14-15 years old)

Sophomore = second year in high school, and second year in college
(15-16 years old)

Juniors = third year in high school, and third year in college
(16-17 years old)

Seniors = fourth year in high school, and fourth year in college
(17-18 years old)


Public High School is free. If you wanted to go to a Private High School/Prep School/Catholic (religious) School .. you have to pay a certain tuition a year.

College, you have to pay for also. Unless you have a scholarship which then you dont have to pay. But we do also have financial aid, which is the state will pay for you to go to college and you pay them back in installments a couple months after you graduate college.

What do you mean by benifits?
What do we get for going to school? We don't get paid for attending school (I wish!).
High School Juniors/Seniors and College Students usually get jobs and support themselves.


Hope this helped!

Answer 6

Freshmen are students in their first year of high school or college, sophomores are in their second year, juniors are in their third, and seniors are in their fourth/last.
For public schools, I'm pretty sure tuition is free if you live in the area and pay your taxes.
