“Being involved in the Foundations program at Ferrum College was one of the best choices I made. This program prepared me for college, not only the classes, but also life as a college student, as it is led by other college students. Foundations also helped me make friendships before all the returning students had returned to school. I knew I would have a hard time adjusting to a new environment as Ferrum is 3-1/2 hours from home for me, but having Foundations made it much easier to adjust and feel ready for the school year and my future!”
