<p>I've been accepted and I'm about to send in the deposit, but I'm not sure if joining a FIG (Freshman Interest Group) would be the best thing to do. Does anybody have experience with them?</p>
<p>I did a FIG...it's really not a big deal. All you do is live close to the other people in your FIG and take 3 classes together first semester. You will still meet people in the residence halls if you choose not to do a FIG...and there really is no benefit I can think of from doing one.</p>
