First Year Experience (FYE) is delighted to officially welcome you to The Ohio State University's Columbus campus! Whether you are transitioning from another Ohio State campus or becoming a Buckeye for the first time, FYE has designed programs and events with you specifically in mind.
While you have experience with navigating college, we know that students who transfer institutions also experience transition during their first year in a new place, particularly as it relates to accessing resources distinct to Ohio State.
We encourage you to learn about all the programs we have to offer and hope we can be a resource. If you have any questions about transitioning to our campus or the programs that our office has to offer, please contact us.
