prepa
A nickname for clueless college freshmen who have no social standing yet. They are recognizable because they move in large packs, wait for the class bells to ring like they are still in high school, and strictly follow color-themed dress days. They typically have heavy or split schedules, such as 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. (This term is most common at the state university, UASD, to describe students who have not yet adjusted to the independence of college life).
The prepas have arrived at the university.
