A FIG is a group of no more than twenty students with similar educational goals who take three or four classes together and live on the same floor of the residence hall. Since there will also be other first-year students living there, you ll have opportunities to meet lots of new and interesting people.
FIGs are available in many different colleges and departments.
They are organized to cover specific interests ranging from agriculture to zoology. Whether you have decided on a major or are exploring ideas before making up your mind, there is probably a FIG for you.
