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
Valdosta State University’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.
Being apart of the Freshman Year Experience has been great. I have made many friends that I probably would not have made otherwise. I know that I am going to keep in touch with many of the people I have become friends with during this year. I like the fact that I get to be in the same classes as many of the people, it makes me feel more comfortable, and I know that I can create a study group if I need too. I have learned a lot from the FYE program. The professors that are in the program help students get a handle on college while still giving the same work load as the regular professors.
