“FYS 101 made a huge difference in the transition from high school to college. I learned many important things about the campus and how to get the right help when you need it.”
“One of the greatest things I learned from FYS 101 is time management. I learned how valuable it is to manage my time efficiently so I can have time for myself everyday.”
“FYS 101 helped me greatly my first semester of college. It taught me where to go when I need help with anything from finding a book to coping with stress.”
“I had the opportunity [through FYS 101] to get to know the campus a lot better by visiting different sites and going to listen to different speakers.”
“FYS 101 has taught me that to be successful in college and to have a good college experience, I need to be a go-getter. That simply means that I need to go after what I want; I am in charge of my life. I need to research things for myself, question things, and be proactive. The resources are there—I just need to find them and utilize them.”
“FYS 101 provided me with a chance to look at all of the things that are essential to a college career. It covered everything you should know about college, but that often time don’t.”
“I have learned [from FYS 101] that in order to get the grade you want, you must put the time in for it. If you want to succeed in a class, you must attend the lecture and not miss.”
“I rarely studied in high school and breezed by with mainly A’s. Here I find that I must study weeks in advance for a test to be fully prepared.”
“I have learned that in college there are many choices that define and make up who you are. Every choice goes toward who you are and who you will become.”
“Everyone talks about college being extremely difficult, but I have realized that those students are the ones who don’t attend classes and just assume that they can get the grades that they want. My diploma isn’t going to come easy, and I am going to work as hard as possible to make sure I do my best. Going to every class is one way to ensure I do my best.”
“FYS 101 helped me in adjusting to life in college as well as providing an easy transition from high school to college and helping in the exploration of my career. It has also given me a chance to know more about the campus and about the academic requirements that I will have to meet to succeed.”
