Did you guys gain the Freshman Fifteen? For some reason, most of the people I know didn't gain it.

i seriously have never heard of that.. is that some sort of thing that always happens when you're in college? because i need to gain some weight!

Not me.
Only  the  ones who don't  watch what they eat do...obviously.

Where's the "lost weight" option? I lost ten pounds the first year I started cooking for myself for the first time and walked all over campus.

I lost weight, due to a complete lack of money to buy food (and my inability to spend wisely).

I actually lost weight.

Nah. I highly doubt that stereotype is even reliable anymore.
Most of the people i know have remained the same.

i gained like 11lbs. almost all of my friends gained weight too. many gained even more than that.

I didn't gain it. I lost it. I lost 20 lbs my first year, due to the lack of available food with my food plan. :S

I actually lost a pound, but I did gain it back, if that counts, haha.

My bf gained weight though, because he was a lot less active than he was in hs.

i actually lost weight my freshman year because i lived on the 4th floor and there were no elevators.

I'm sure that only happens because the students can't find time to eat real food and become used to eating fast food several times a week. That shouldn't even be an excuse...most fast food places have SOME type of weight-watcher menu (salads, wraps, etc.)

Nooo I lost weight especially in my first semester.
