JavaScript Object-Oriented JavaScript Getters and Setters Creating Setter Methods

I have tried everything I can think of.

Inside the major() setter method, set the student's major to a backing property "_major". If the student's level is Junior or Senior, the value of the backing property should be equal to the parameter passed to the setter method. If the student is only a Freshman or Sophomore, set the "_major" backing property equal to 'None'.

creating_setters.js 
class Student {
    constructor(gpa, credits){
        this.gpa = gpa;
        this.credits = credits;
    }
  get major() {
  return this.major;
  }

  set major(major)  {
    if (this.level === 'Senior'  || this.level +== 'Junior')  {
    this._major = major;
    } else {
     this._major = 'none';
  }
  }

    stringGPA() {
        return this.gpa.toString();
    }

    get level() {
        if (this.credits > 90 ) {
            return 'Senior';
        } else if (this.credits > 60) {
            return 'Junior';
        } else if (this.credits > 30) {
            return 'Sophomore';
        } else {
            return 'Freshman';
        }
    }
}

var student = new Student(3.9, 60);

Might be the +== you have on line 11 - needs to be ===.

I'm stuck on this one too. Maybe try adding an underscore in the get method,

get() { return this._major }
