I remember hearing about this but didnt realize it had gone into effect yet. MIT has had a similar program for a while, it helps freshmen get on their feet.

I'd really encourage you to take some free electives early on too. I was doing engineering because I was pretty good at it but I really didnt like it, I took an international affairs class and was hooked. I would have saved a lot of time if I had realized it during my first or second years.
