Often times it is difficult to integrate into something new whether that be making the transition from high school to college or moving to a new neighborhood, and it can often times be very helpful to have someone assist you in that transition. This is essentially the driving idea behind Freshmen Seminar, and although the intentions behind Freshmen seminar seemed to be good, the program itself was very hit and miss. On one end when it came to choosing classes and building a schedule for next semester, I personally found Fro to be very helpful when it came to assisting me in helping decide what classes to take and without it I would just be lost. On the other hand, when it came to community building, i felt like fro missed the mark. I am not saying that there isn’t any sense of community whatsoever; quite the contrary- having most of our classes, such as Fro, together and being placed into an LC did help to foster a sense of community to the extent that friendships were made and at the very least we all know, or should know, each others names. What I am saying, however, is that some of the projects such as working together on blogs and doing community service seemed to miss the mark when it came to team building. For the blogs, in theory, we should have worked together to accomplish a common goal but in practice, from my experience at least, we just worked separately on the blogs 30 minutes before the  class they were do. Also, the community service- and this isn’t a complaint to having to do community service by any means (i do believe in giving back to the community)- seemed to miss the mark of building us as a community. The entire LC didn’t work on the same project and we only had to do it once;if anything, the community service was good in the sense that we were able to give back  but ultimately failed because not everyone was in collaboration and was for such a short period of time that it seems forgettable.
