I'm in my first year of college vs I'm in my first year in college

Both options are correct, but the first version is more common. 'I'm in my first year of college' is commonly used to indicate the specific year level the speaker is in, while 'I'm in my first year in college' emphasizes the speaker's status as a college student.
