In USA it's another way of saying a person is in the 9th grade. We say:
Freshman (9th grader)
Sophomore (10th grader)
Junior (11th grader)
Senior (12th grader)
We also say it for college but mostly for high school students

It means your first year (in high school and college)
First your a freshmen, then a sophomore, then a junior, then a senior
It also means your fresh meat to the upperclassmen ;)
And I didnt know it was only an american
