Freshman Interest Groups - West Chester University

Freshman Interest Groups - West Chester University Freshman Interest Groups (FIG) are small groups of first year students that live near each other in

Freshman Interest Groups gather students in small groups (24-35) to live and learn together during their first semester at WCU. FIG students live near each other in the residence halls and take a pair of classes together that are based on a common theme. This arrangement helps ease the transition from high school to college by helping students make friends more quickly and connect with University

faculty and staff. Students who are living on campus and students who are commuting can both participate in the program. Benefits:
•Eases your transition from high school to college
•Connects your interests to courses that are general education or major requirements, and the credits you earn will count toward graduation requirements
•Provides you with social connections with others who share your interest
•Supports you with a peer leader who will help you understand critical academic, social, and calendar factors
•Enables you to generate academic partnerships with classmates, peer leaders, and faculty which can lead to higher grades
