<p>For those that were interested in the Freshman Forum, the application is now up:</p>
<p>[Student</a> Affairs | First Year Experience](<a href=“http://fye.ua.edu/forumApply.cfm]Student”>http://fye.ua.edu/forumApply.cfm)</p>
<p>Any idea of how many students are selected for this?</p>
<p>Sorry, I don’t know.</p>
<p>My notes from BB say that ~1000 apply for this (seems a lot!), and ~140 are chosen. They are split into 3 main groups, which are further split into smaller groups still. They plan a community service project at the end of each semester. My notes also say that they meet every Monday evening, ~6.30-8 pm, from mid-September until March? Not sure if this info will be correct for this coming year - anyone who is already in this program should weigh in with the facts as they know them.</p>
<p>I believe most are usually Greek, but I could be wrong.</p>
<p>Many of the Greek organizations all but require their members to apply to Freshman Forum, but in recent years, there seem to be a number of non-Greeks among the membership. My son did Freshman Forum three years ago, and he liked it. Met some students. He later served in as an adviser.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, Everyone. :-)</p>
