First Year Experience

Welcome to the Office of First Year Experience. We are here to help our newest undergraduates, both freshmen and transfer students, transition into the intellectual, social, and cultural community of Boston College. We do this through integrated offerings of curricular and co-curricular opportunities throughout the first year at Boston College.
