Beginning your college career is an exciting and memorable time
in your life. You will meet new people, see new sights and
savor new experiences. Whether you commute to or reside on
campus, a new world awaits you.
The cornerstone of support throughout your first year is the
University Freshman Center and your advisor. In the middle of all
the newness and excitement, it’s comforting to know that there is a
special place for you to call your own. As a matter of fact,
we always refer to the UFC as a freshman’s “Home away from
home.”
We realize that college can be quite different from high
school. You must now adjust to the new demands expected of
you by your professors. This is reflected in the various
assignments and exams you will be given in the approximately 15
week long semesters. You will need to demonstrate time
management and strong study habits to achieve your goals during
your first year of studies. In addition to your academic
transition, you will have the opportunity to grow socially,
personally and spiritually.
Your personal advisor will do everything possible to ensure a
smooth transition to St. John’s. They “know the ropes” and
would like nothing better than to assist you in achieving
success.
Stop by at any time. Remember, it’s your University Freshman
Center!
