What is First Year Experience
The staff of FYE is here to help first year students at UNO. Transitioning to college can be exciting, stressful, challenging, and fun, and the first year is often the hardest. Our job is to make sure that your transition is as easy as possible. If you have a specific question, come ask it. Don’t know where to start? Let us help point you in the right direction. One day you too will be an UNO expert. In the meantime, we’re here to help!
