Exploratory majors
Exploratory majors students are still required to participate in Â鶹ӳ»FIT, and can request a bootcamp of interest. This is a unique opportunity to try out a course of study for a week.

“I felt comfortable and included. It was more of a personal experience where I got to get to know my mentor and other people in my pack. I was able to discuss a lot of important things with people with similar interests. We were also able to see important parts of campus together. The most worthwhile part of all of this was just spending time with my pack and mentor. We really got to explore what was important to us, get work done, and do more thorough and thoughtful work.”

"BizFit really helped me prepare as a college student and allowed me to get into the college lifestyle before it actually started. I learned how to address my professors and what they would expect from me. Building relationships with the other Â鶹ӳ»FIT delegates I feel was the most helpful for me, and it gave me a face to look for my first few weeks of school. Overall, my experience as a Â鶹ӳ»FIT delegate was amazing and it most definitely prepared me for the coming year!"

"I enjoyed meeting other engineers before the start of the school year during E-FIT. I think that early exposure to the University and the opportunity to move in early helped me a lot; it alleviated the stress of having to learn everything in the short span of the first week. I was pleasantly surprised by the lessons provided in finance, engineering principles, and self-awareness. They have helped me monitor my credit and spending, consider time, cost, and quality in production, and gain a deeper understanding of my own morals and decision making process. I was also thoroughly impressed by the presentation given by the Mechanical Engineer with the 3.97 GPA. It gave me an idea of how seriously to take classes and how to study."

"Doing Â鶹ӳ»FIT was the best thing I could've done to prepare me for freshman year.

It was a great way to familiarize myself with the campus and different teachers, it's an opportunity everyone should take advantage of."

HealthFIT academic programs
- Kinesiology

"The program helped me become familiar with the campus so I had a better idea of where to go on the first few days. It also gave me an idea of what classes would be like so I could be more prepared. I think the study skills that I obtained were very helpful. One thing that was somewhat beneficial in the end, but was one of my least favorite parts, was that we had to stay up so late to be able to work on everything we needed to work on. It was so exhausting and made it harder to be away from home for the first time. But, it was somewhat beneficial because it helped us to learn the importance of time management and gave us a feel for what some of the late-nights would be like." -- HealthFIT participant

"The most helpful part of the J-FIT program was being able to create an early relationship with the professors and faculty. Everyone is very nice and always willing to help, as so long as you are kind and respectful. There is never a need to be fearful to ask anyone anything because they are all so willing and excited to answer. I've never met such enthusiastic and kind facilitators in all my life. The relationship I created with the students, my peers were very important because you make friends instantly. Those friends are in the same field as you, taking generally the same classes as you, which makes it helpful to be able to work together, study together, and begin to create connections."
