First Year Experience

College of Business and Economics Learning Communities

Heres what a student found most valuable about their Learning Community:

"I got to live with people in my same major, classes, and so much more. It was way nicer having a group of people I kind of already knew to go into classes with, and to have them so close for help, questions, etc. It's also really nice to be able to make a solid group of friends you know you'll see through the whole year right away."
