Yep, that makes sense. In my experience, the older students have been really nice to the new freshmen. It’s really easy to make friends with older people through classes if you place up, and clubs if you take advantage of that your first year. I only knew a couple of upperclassmen before I got to school, but once I arrived, our orientation leaders and proctors became friends and I met several older people in classes and clubs. It’s probably even easier to communicate between classes if one has an older sibling, but I’m an only child, so I wouldn’t know. In my case, I ended up meeting so many older people in the first week that someone would say “Hi name!” and I would have no idea who it was. So to answer your question, yep, older students are great towards new freshmen, very supportive, and absolutely no bullying. HIH :)
