i believe NYU uses the term to encompass both, with more emphasis on the first one. when it comes to student activities/residence life, the 2nd didnt apply as transfers were not typically eligible for first-year housing. i feel two different ways about it: a transfer could come from a school mid-year, only having one semester under their belt, and their college experience could still be "fresh." a year out is a little different, and that person probably wouldnt want to live with a freshman. another first-year, perhaps.
i bet more thought is given to this being that NYU is a revolving door of transfer students.
