At the start of the second year, a few of them showed up, having transferred in from other schools. They were ostracized somewhat for being tools, or that was my impression, but it was a little hard to tell how much, because on the one hand none of cared as much by the second year, but on the other hand we all knew each and didn't know them to start with, so the gunner accentuated that.

Our games were more professor-specific. With one Torts professor, the joke was that if he called on you and you didn't know what to say, you could just say, "third-party insurance" and you'd be OK. A friend tried it one day, more as a joke for the rest of us, but it worked, and the professor just moved on to his neighbor.
at Harvard of course we had people transfer in 2L. Those of us with names on buildings didn’t acknowledge them, but the U did afford them a seat.

But you’re saying people transfer into Florida Coastal?
