". . . professors were wonderful, very approachable, and enthusiastic to make time for students and I am sad to be leaving them -- Bosch, Hoops, Apple, O'Donnell, and even Bazzett from the Psych Department . . ." -- Sarah Leahy

"I had a pretty good experience at Geneseo, better than others but not the best." -- Bryce Ledner

"I loved my time at Geneseo!  The Bio department is full of wonderful professors and amazing students (many of who turned into great friends!)" -- Kaitlin LeVasseur

"I liked my upper-level bio classes because the professors were genuinely interested in the course material and were a lot more passionate. . ." -- Samantha Lillpopp

"I loved my experiences at Geneseo and highly recommend it!!" -- Kellie McMahon

"Loved my time at Geneseo!" -- Lindsey Picard

"I have had some classes that I hated, and some that I loved.  It is unfortunate that our department is so huge student wise with not alot of faculty, but (most of) the professors are absolutely wonderful!  I have never not felt challenged in my bio classes, and that has resulted in a great work ethic that will be advantageous in graduate school and my career . . .  Overall, I feel incredibly prepared to take on any challenge that lies ahead of me, as a result of my experience in biology at Geneseo!" -- Megan Reynolds

"I think the department is great and I have loved all four years at Geneseo!" -- Michelle VanHorne
