second-year

Past the freshman

Second-year describes someone or something in the second year of a multi-year process—typically education or employment.

A second-year student, a second-year resident, a second-year analyst.

As a noun, it refers to the person themselves: The second-years showed the freshmen around campus.

In British universities, second-year students are sometimes called sophomores, though that term is more American.
