  14. Comments • “As a result of this course, I have adapted to college extremely well and smoothly. Not only has this class made it easier for me to build relationships with new individuals, but the faculty has also provided me with a sound and fundamental foundation surrounding my education.” • “I really, really like campus match. It gives you a group that adjusts to campus life together. It’s a great idea, I think ALL incoming freshman should do it. I just wish I could do it again next semester and meet a whole new slew of people.” • “I am pre-business therefore I haven't had the chance to actually experience the W.P. Carey School of Business. I think I am really going to enjoy this major and COB194 helped me better understand and improve my confidence in this major.” • “I greatly enjoyed the Campus Match program and am very thankful that I participated. The program helped the adjustment to a big, new school. My instructor for the COB 194 class was a student, which made the class more relaxed setting. My instructor was very helpful because he could relate to what we were going through as freshman, and it was easy to learn from him.”

Non- Campus Match • 6 1 0 4 and 4 Withdrawals Note that the "good students" in either class did well. But the weaker campus match students were helped along the way by the friendship with and commitment of the other class members. This didn't happen in my non-campus-match Math 117 class.
