Hullabaloo U
First-year students will participate in Hullabaloo U – Texas A&M’s first-year experience course. Participation in a Hullabaloo U section equips first-year students to achieve academic and personal goals, take advantage of campus resources, develop community and a sense of belonging, and contribute to our Aggie community. In most cases, Hullabaloo U is a zero-credit hour course, so it is free for students!
Each experience is unique, but all Hullabaloo U sections will include:
A faculty or staff instructor committed to your success
A student peer mentor to help you navigate the college experience
A community of approximately 25 other first-year students
A common student success curriculum
First-year students will learn more about Hullabaloo U at their
New Student Conference
.
