<p>Although I no longer remember the specifics of my daughter’s interview—she’s a Beloit sophomore now—I do know that the admissions staff did their best to make her feel at ease. Everyone she dealt with was good-humored and pleasant.</p>
<p>One of the things that is unique about Beloit is the FYI program for freshman. It begins with an unusually long orientation—about 10 days—and mentoring and peer relationships are forged that last throughout the year and beyond. The topics for the individual FYIs are often creative and fun. If your son isn’t already familiar with FYI, he could review the program and ask any questions that occur to him. </p>
