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 accomplish these tasks. The program is designed primarily for students who have not yet decided on an academic major.
Making the change from high school to college was hard for me when I first started. The Freshman Year Experience Program has helped me meet new people and get used to college. Having classes with the same group of people has been great because if I miss class for some reason, then I have someone to relay the assignment to me.
