All incoming students to the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) are provided the opportunity to have a Freshman Resource Advisor (FRA) or Transfer Resource Advisor (TRA). FRAs and TRAs are upperclassmen in CAS who help ease
the transition of freshmen and transfer students into college life
at BU.
FRAs and TRAs will introduce new students to campus resources, help
prepare students for the academic rigors of CAS, and serve as a
friendly face and guide in those early days on campus.
CAS incoming students meet with their FRAs and TRAs (in small groups
of students) during Opening Weekend and throughout the academic
year. In addition to providing information about courses, registration,
and academic success strategies, students are able to participate
in a variety of social activities and outings that their FRAs and
TRAs have coordinated.
Students in colleges and schools other than CAS receive peer advising
through their respective college or school.

She also enjoys reaching out to her community and has been involved in a multitude of service projects-- her favorite being the CSC’s Wizards Program, where she performs science experiments with kids in Boston-area schools. In her free time, Veronica can be found jogging along the Charles River or strolling down Newbury Street. This will be Veronica’s third year with the FRA/TRA Program and she is looking forward to another great year!
