Your freshman year experience at Valdosta State University is critical in laying the groundwork for a successful academic and professional career. Employers view a well rounded successful academic career as evidence that students can be equally successful and productive in their chosen fields. Success begins by mastering the three principal tasks of the first year student:

• Academic Skills Development
• Adjusting to College Life
• Developing Academic & Career Goals

VSU’s Freshman Year Experience (FYE) is an outstanding student development program that assists first-year students in accomplishing these tasks. The program is designed primarily for students who have not yet decided on an academic major. 

The Freshman Year Experience is the best choice one could make for their freshman year. I have a group of people who share all my classes and go through all the same experiences. I never have to worry about walking around campus and being one of many. I know that wherever I may be, there will be at least one familiar face around.
