@fallenchemist - I stared at the Web site a few gazillion times last summer, and yet I never entirely figured out the terminology. I think that all of the optional freshman programs fall under the “EXPLORE” umbrella. This includes a group of six or seven “tracks” (focusing on arts, sports, food, etc.) that are “The NOLA Experience” programs.

Greenie Camp, however … plus four or five other options (e.g., “IGNITE,” which is community service) … all are “EXPLORE” programs but are NOT part of The NOLA Experience.

So, if I’ve got it right (which I may not), all NOLA Experience programs are part of EXPLORE but not all EXPLORE programs are part of the NOLA Experience!

In any case, based on the scuttlebutt I’ve heard and my own son’s reports, I’m a fan of all of these opportunities.
