FYE’s goals are to make students feel academically and socially "at home" at La Salle University. Here are some student comments about the most valuable parts of their Freshman Year Experience.
helps you get through the first semester of college
you learn important aspects of college life and how to survive it
the feeling of comfort in all of the classes, the freedom to speak up
makes you feel comfortable with other students as well as the institution itself
I felt getting to know each other and what was expected of us was valuable
introduces topics we need to know but have no other place to hear about
all the presentations were valuable but the one on AIDS was most shocking
the instructor always asked for our opinion about what we wanted to do
I enjoyed learning about the history of La Salle University. . . . the teacher was AWESOME!
the course made me feel comfortable as a new member of La Salle University
helps you learn to think and write critically
forced me to learn how to better manage my time
helped my realize a college degree is a package deal, not just a piece of paper
gave me confidence in handling problems I was having early in the year
the first year of college is a very new and scary experience; this course makes you feel comfortable about being here
the course taught me how not to be afraid to go and see a teacher or speak up in class
teaches you how to use all the resources of the university
get a better understanding of the difference between high school and college
more than just literature; it was life and experiences. I feel this is what college should be about
making new friends and getting to know your classmates
The Freshman Year Experience class let the students become more familiar and comfortable in a classroom setting. This is vital to an incoming freshman. It gives a chance to orient yourself to college-type classes, teachers, etc., and what is expected of you
