Sample Comments from Students in FYE

“I learned how to manage my time better, became more outgoing and willing to meet new people and I found a class where the teacher really made us feel at home.”

“It was a good introduction to the university, I made new freinds and did fun actitivies with people outside of class”

“I liked the small class size. I was able to make friends out of my class. The attention was focused more on each individual student.”

“The teacher and the mentor were always there when I needed help. We did a variety of things with our mentor to help us around campus and the campus website.”

“It was the place we could ask questions we might hesitate to ask otherwise for fear of embarrassment.”

“The teacher gave great advice and guided us along all semester, not only in the class, but with things in general as well.”

“Through the FYE talks throughout the semester, we went over things that first semester students may not know and offered a good atmosphere for asking questions.”
