FYSOP stands for Freshmen Year Service Opportunities program. The program runs the week before the weekend that the dorms open up to move in. During the week you will be assigned to groups and you will perform community service around Boston based on where you interests lie- perhaps working with kids, building and painting projects, etc. You can read about the specifics on the BU website. Aside from the plus of performing community service and getting to know the city and college projects through your work efforts, you will also get to know other fellow freshmen. You can work together during the day and then meet to have fun in the evening. The other plus is that you will be able to move into your dorms a week early and avoid the craziness of the main move in days for BU and other Boston colleges over the Labor Day weekend. Many who have done have said that they made their best friends in college through this week long process. Also, it is a great way to meet people in a more structured/smaller environment.
