Season Four
The Freshman
Trying to adjust to the rigors of college life proves to be harder than
Buffy imagined. Dormitory life, with the complexities of sharing a room,
takes some getting used to. On campus, Willow and Oz are really getting into
the spirit of things, and only Xander, freshly returned from his
self-discovery adventure, can help with a bunch of local vampire students.
Elsewhere, Giles seems to be enjoying his life away from being a librarian
and a Watcher.
