Valdosta State University

Hello everyone, my name is Matthew Odom I'm from Valdosta, Georgia and have lived here my whole life. I am a freshman at Valdosta State University and am a student in the FYE program. My major is undecided, and I plan to declare a major next semester.

 

The Freshman Year Experience Program

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. 

The Freshman Year Experience Program is the best way to start  your college career here at Valdosta State University. This department was created to help high school kids adjust to the transition to the college lifestyle. The classes are chosen from the best teachers on campus and this has helped me and other students get a good start in college.
