Freshman Mobile Ethnography Study
Forge spent time this fall being freshmen again – getting the inside scoop from current first-years on what starting college is like in 2018. We shared the nerves, excitement, and incredible experiences of 17 students on 17 campuses to understand their stories.
Scroll through for a taste of what we found.
“Great hammocking on the quad…”
When the students played the role of influencers, showing us how they’d use social
media to share their feelings and insider perspective, we saw campus through their eyes.
“You're a hard worker, but please…
take a moment to reflect and relax”.
What would these freshmen say if they could write a letter to themselves
one year ago? The answers are as telling as they are touching.
“Think about your students
as the backbone of your school.”
Our students had a lot of advice, and valuable perspectives, to offer their
schools on more authentic ways of recruiting.
We’d love to share our insights to help strengthen your brand.
