Question 8

🤔 What does "Refrosh" mean?

Accepted Answer

"Refrosh" is about recreating the freshman experience. A common slang term for freshman is frosh. Thus, Refrosh!

Why the freshman experience? Well, in our experience, freshman year is a unique time where it's easier than ever to dive into new experiences surrounded by people who share your interests. After we graduate, we're on our own without the social infrastructure of our university community.

Refrosh brings you the security and relevance akin to university programming that makes it so easy to make new friends–as and adult, and without the tuition fees.
