| - The Georgia Tech Freshman Experience Program was developed in 1992 to counteract the high attrition rate of Georgia Tech freshman. The Freshman Experience (FE) places newly acquird Tech freshman in traditional style residence halls. The traditional residence halls aid in the promotion of community and social enrichment of newly acquired Tech students. The Experience utilizes events, programs, and peer leaders to accustom the freshmen to the rigors of Georgia Tech and urban Atlanta. [1] Peer leaders are upper classmen assigned 15-20 freshmen who live within the residence halls. The peer leaders are the first layer (and only student employees) of the Freshman Experience staff designed to assist in academic, social, and physical needs of first year students. Imediately above the peer leaders are professional hall directors, who staff and delegate peer leaders in 1-3 residence halls. The hall directors are supervised by area directors who preside over one of the three FE areas. [2] The original Freshman Experience design utilized a student heirarchy in which community advisors supervised 4-6 peer leaders and student advisors supervised 2-3 community advisors. This heirarchy was dissolved in the Fall of 2004 for increased professional staff supervision and decreased excess in student staff per building. The professional staff heirarchy begins with Hall Directors supervising 10-15 peer leaders. An area director supervises 2-3 hall directors and the head of Freshman Experience supervises the area directors. There are currently three zones on campus designated for Freshman Experience Housing. Freshman Experience (FE) East Campus is broken into two areas. FE North consists of Glenn, Towers, Cloudman, and Harrison. FE South consists of Smith, Howell, and Brown. Glenn, Towers, and Smith are all male halls while Brown, Harrison, and Cloudman are all female halls. Howell is the only coed FE dorm on East Campus. Freshman Experience West Campus is made of Folk, Caldwell, Fitten, Freeman, and Montag. All FE West Campus residence halls are coed by floor. Although Harris Residence Hall is located within the FE South zone, it is considered a coed upperclassmen dorm and falls under Area II staff supervision.
