Well, they're not those little dried up seedy things next to the prunes at the grocery store.
FIGs are about almost everything else under the sun.
They are Freshman Interest Groups, offering a diverse array of classes and an academic experience that you will share with a group of up to twenty other first-semester freshmen. You may have heard that university classes are harder than those you've been used to in high school. You may be wondering how and where you will make friends when you get to Indiana University. FIGs are a great way to meet other new students and make your academic trasition easier. When you join a FIG, you'll take two or three courses, plus a one credit FIG seminar, taught by one of the Peer Instructors , with a group of your fellow freshman.
