“I found that the connections that I made with the fellow upcoming freshmen were very important. Even though I might not be friends with them or even see them again, CWE made me more comfortable with meeting new people, and I now know at least a few more people attending Auburn in the fall, which makes the transition a little less intimidating.”

"UNIV 1050 really helped me improve my time management and note taking skills. I took away a more efficient scheduling method along with a more effective note taking style that have in turn helped me be successful in my other classes and extracurricular activities at Auburn."

"Working in the FYE office taught me a plethora of things including appropriate communication skills, how to work as a team, public speaking, customer service skills, and so much more. I left that office a much different person than when I started there and owe it all to the student and professional staff that I worked with."

"I found that the small group times [during SOS] were very helpful because I was able to meet new people who were also transfer students that were going to be in the same [academic] college with me. My orientation leader was very helpful and answered any questions we had."

"A learning community can get you plugged into your major, you can meet new people. It allows you to expand your comfort zone and instead of just being friends with people in your hall, it allows you to meet other people and then you can meet their friends and then you have a whole circle of people with a common interest."
