Even living with sixty other students may sound challenging. That's why FIGs are a popular option for new UO students. While class and residence hall sizes vary, each FIG is limited to twenty-five students so you can make fast friends and study partners. Although FIGs are limited in size, you will still be living with up to sixty people in your hall and going to classes larger than your FIG group. This provides a nice balance between a small, focused learning environment and plenty of opportunity to get to know a broader range of students living in your hall and going to your classes.
All FIGs are open to all majors.
Research shows that students who take classes together and live together are more likely to have a smoother transition to university life and academic success. Live among other FIG members who are taking the same classes. Are guaranteed fall enrollment in three thematically linked classes. Have a good start with general-education requirements. Have opportunities to make friends and study partners.
