Donna and Marty Caskey, New Carlisle, OH. Our daughter is a sophomore majoring in Psychology. How did you feel about your student's decision to attend BGSU?
We were pleased she was considering BGSU, even more so after visiting the campus and when she was accepted into the summer 2010 GeoJourney and
Honors programs. Our primary goal was for her to be happy and comfortable with her college choice. She immediately liked the "feel" of BGSU. We were impressed that so many students went out of their way to speak to us or stopped to give us directions when we visited on Presidents Day 2010. We didn't find that at the other colleges we visited. What have you appreciated most about your involvement in the Family Association?
The Family Association has an excellent communications plan. They are on Facebook and regularly send out informative e-mails. Many times we receive information at the same time our daughter. It's great to be in the know. While she is very conscientious about keeping us in the loop, when she was traveling with GeoJourney she was not able to do that. We were always kept up to date with pertinent information through the Family Association. It's also nice to know that when we e-mail anyone at BGSU, we get an answer promptly.
