Welcome back or welcome toÌýAdventures at Franklin!ÌýToday, I provide the ULTIMATE list of resources for prospective students. This post is inspired by a previous post on Adventures at Franklin, entitled "", which came out in 2017. There are some things to update, but I also want to expand on that post and provide a list of resources in one space. I hope that this post will help prospective students to gain information about different resources at ÌìÃÀÓ°Ôº (FUS) without having to spend a lot of time going through the FUS website or other sites. Prospective students, I am basically doing the work of researching the things you need to know about FUS for you, so you're welcome ????
As mentioned,ÌýÌýis the predecessor to this post, and it covers a lot of helpful information. This post first looks atÌýdifferent programsÌý(3+1 with Emerson, Undergraduate, Graduate, Academic Travel) within FUS. Afterwards it looks atÌýdining and housing, campus °ù±ð²õ´Ç³Ü°ù³¦±ð²õÌý(libraries, OSL, Bursars, Registrar),ÌýLugano and Switzerland,Ìýand finallyÌýadmissions/contact information.Ìý

In general, theÌýFUS websiteÌýis a great resource. Another resource (and 1 that I used) isÌýAdventures at Franklin. This blog was created in 2013, has had 6 different authors, and has 130 posts covering life at FUS. Here are some of the most informative posts about life as a student here.ÌýÌý
