Right now you're setting the _major backing property to "None" regardless of the value passed in. What they want us to do is assign it "None" only if they're a Freshman or Sophomore, otherwise assign the value of the major argument. Because level was set up as a get method, we can access it just like a property with this.level.

set major(major) {
    if (this.level == "Freshman" || this.level == "Sophomore") {
        this._major =  "None";
    } else {
        this._major = major;
    }
}
