TOP 10 REASONS TO ATTEND FREX 2020
Calling all accepted students for our Freshman Experience weekend extravaganza, FReX! Scheduled for March 13-14, 2020 and April 10-11, 2020, FReX is your opportunity to try Neumont on and see if it’s a good fit for your college journey. Below are our top ten reasons you should attend FReX this spring:
FIND NEW FRIENDS. You’ll get to meet and mingle with your future classmates long before school even starts. This is a great way to connect with friends you’ve made on our Discord server and maybe find that perfect roommate.
EXPLORE THE CITY. Neumont’s campus sits in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Everything a student needs to survive at college is close by: restaurants, shopping, museums, movie theaters, and concert venues surround the campus. While you’re visiting, you can explore most of these using Utah’s light rail system, TRAX.
MEET CURRENT STUDENTS. Current Neumont students in their natural habitats are an awe-inspiring sight. During FReX you’ll have the opportunity to hang out with them at the Student Social and learn more about the day-to-day life at Neumont.
SEE STUDENT PROJECTS. We pride ourselves on our hands-on, project-based learning; now you can see it up close and personal. During your visit, current students will demo their projects and you can see what our students get to create every day.
HISTORIC BUILDING TOUR. Neumont’s campus is housed in a historic, 12-story building that was renovated to meet the needs of our high-tech, modern-learning community. This site used to be a Pony Express stop! And you can still see the original 1924 boilers for the building down in the basement. During FReX you’ll get a chance to explore the campus and learn more about our building’s iconic history.
YOUR NEW DIGS. Take a tour of one of our student apartments, meet the Resident Advisors, and ask our Student Affairs team any questions you might have. This is a great way to start planning for what you need to bring (like that top-end espresso machine!).
STUDENT SOCIAL HAPPENINGS. Friday night at FReX is a highlight for many future Neubies. The Student Social brings together all things game – everything from console, to table-top, to RPGs. We provide the food and drinks to keep things rolling, you provide the nimble thumbs and wrists (did we mention billiards and ping pong?).
ALL QUESTIONS ANSWERED. “What’s Neumont really like?” “Will I like it there?” “Is Salt Lake really a fun city?” “Will I meet anybody I’ll like?” FReX is all about getting your questions answered. You can speak to key members of faculty and staff while you’re here, too. Ask them anything! We want to be sure you leave with all the information you need to make the best decision for you.
COMPLIMENTARY HOTEL OFFER*. We think you’ll like Neumont so much, we’re offering our accepted students and their parent(s), guardian(s), or spouse a complimentary hotel room for up to two nights. Find out more, including eligibility requirements and booking details here.
THE NEUMONT EXPERIENCE. Unless you visit, how will you know? We take tremendous pride in our students, our alumni, our faculty, and our staff. We offer an experience that no other school can match. Come and see for yourself!
