<p>I wouldn’t say he’s missing out, but its definitely a different experience. Whether it will be better or worse for him depends on what type of person he is, but the school tends to be pretty good at placing only students they think will succeed as febs is that group. </p>
<p>To be honest, febs tend to stick together, and while nearly all have some friends who are regs, I wouldn’t say they integrate. In a way, that might be better–since there are 80ish febs, they form a really tight-knit group. And febs from previous years are good at reaching out to the new class.</p>
<p>I actually ended up wishing I was a feb myself. It was a group of students who were less sports-focused, and generally more creative. If that sounds like something you son would enjoy, he should seriously consider it!</p>
<p>Oh, and I don’t think the school runs any programs for febs. But, if he needs help finding one, they could probably offer advice based on programs febs have done on their own in the past.</p>
