-I enjoyed my experience and I loved my seminar.

-Dr. Keating is a fantastic and engaging lecturer whose interest in his subject areas are reflected in his students. He is amazing!

-Loved my FYS.. I’m going to miss it next semester =)

-This semester was very effective in assimilating me into the Richmond life. I love just about everything about the University and look forward to coming back next semester. Generally, I feel that the FYS is a good idea, and I especially agree on giving students an option to choose their own preferred group. Thank you very much for all that you do.
