<p>Hey all,
I am exploring all the different opportunities at UT and came across First Year Interest Groups. It seems like a good idea, small groups of freshmen taking the same classes and getting to know one another. Can someone who has been in an FIG or knows about them tell more? I want to know more about the engineering FIGs if possible. Thanks!</p>

<p>Im interested in hearing about them too, particularly business ones.</p>
<p>My son was in the BME FIG class last semester. I just asked him, and he said it was good. They did these kinds of things: Get tutoring in EE; order in pizza; get tips for signing up for classes; visit the art museum (he said it was kind of funny to see a bunch of engineering students commenting on paintings!). It also helped him to get to know some of the other BME students.</p>
<p>I also really want to know about them, I know a couple of people that are in them and they like them, but I heard you can meet some pretty *****y people though… I’m going to be in the communication school (PR) next year, and I heard they’re big in that college.</p>
