Freshman (Foundation Year) Interest Groups (FIGs) are groups of approximately 25 U0 students and U1 students in their first semester, in the B.Sc. or B.A. & Sc., led by a Faculty of Science academic advisor and an upper-year undergraduate student. They meet once every two weeks in the Fall or Winter semester (or weekly for half the semester) to discuss a wide range of topics, such as science in the news, program choices, undergraduate research opportunities, or various aspects of life in Montreal.
