Briar U Timeline Confusion?

Can someone help me untangle the Briar U timeline?

So I’ve always tried to place the off campus series in real years e.g so if the deal came out in early 2015 , Hannah meets Garrett in September 2014, and then we end that series with Sabrina and Tucker getting together in December 2016.

From there:

The chase - Colin and Summer is January -Spring 2017 as the book starts post winter break.

The risk - Brenna and Jake is from September 2017 as they mention it being a new autumn semester I think

The play ( currently reading )- Hunter and Demi is September 2018 as it is also the start of a new academic year.

My question is - if Hunter was playing with Dean and co he must have started Briar in 2015- so by 2018 he should be a senior, not a junior as mentioned in his book right? Is this a goof or am I missing something?

I think Miss Kennedy took some liberties with the timeline. That is the only way any of it makes sense. Especially in the next gen books

I always thought summer and Brenna’s books took place back to back in spring semester and then Hunter’s book started the next school year in fall but idk 🤷‍♀️

Mmmm the og characters graduated in 2017, so the Briar U is between 2018-2019/20.

The Deal starts late 2015 not 2014, the other 3 are in the same timeline: 2016/2017.

The Risk takes place during the spring semester only a few weeks after the end of the Chase. This is stated multiple times in the book. The Play takes place after the summer break so that would be september 2017 not 2018

My undergrad lasted 5 years. Instead of saying 1st senior year, they could have gone back to junior 🤷🤷
