My name is Paige, and I had a good experience in FYE. I learned how to navigate college efficiently, I made new friends, I felt comfortable in my new classes, and I knew who to go to if I ever had any questions. I was in FYE in the fall of 2019.
I believe the best thing FYE did was put me in different classes with the same group of people. This allowed me to make friends faster, feel more comfortable in my classes, and definitely have a better experience than I would have had without being in FYE.
We also took a few fun trips as a group to places like an escape room and a museum in uptown Charlotte. FYE was a lot of fun, and I’m glad I was able to be involved in this type of welcoming program during my first year of college.
