CLSS 1000: "This class is essential for incoming freshmen. As a new student I had so many questions about college and I didn't know who to ask. CLSS 1000 answered all my questions and taught me even more in the process!"

Freshman Reading: "I didn't know that reading a book could help me connect so easily with other students. The discussions I had about the book helped me appreciate other points of view. I learned that I have a lot more in common with students from other backgrounds than I realized."

StartSmart Emails: "The emails taught me about the resources all around campus to help me be more successful as a college student. I loved the daily 'tips.' I learned a lot from the emails, and I would recommend that every student read them."
