Vocabulary

"To join" and "To join in"

Hi!

Is right the sentence "I hope new people join our class this year"?

Taking the opportunity, could I say instead "I hope new people join in our class this year", or it does not express the same thing?

Thanks in advance!

'Join' means become a member of the class.

'Join in' means participate actively in class activities.
