Academic Classes in University Residence Halls
Residence Hall Class Sections
English 100 class in the Sellery Hall classroom
One of the greatest concerns among new students is how to manage the size of UW-Madison. Course sections of Freshman Composition, General Chemistry and Calculus, among others, are reserved for each residence hall community. Enrolling in a residence hall class section is an excellent way to establish a sense of community organized around learning and getting good grades. Many of these class sections meet in residence hall classrooms where instructors often hold office hours and/or review sessions. Students all live in the same community and quickly make new friends and study together with ease.

First-Year Interest Groups
A First-Year Interest Group (FIG) consists of a group of 20 first-year students who live in the same residence hall or "residential neighborhood" and who also enroll in a cluster of three classes together.
Each FIG cluster of courses has a central theme; the central or "synthesizing" course integrates content from the other two classes.
