TEN THUMBS UP! Awesome!

I really enjoyed this! It was a nice ride and the staff was nice as well. It was a great way to finish off my first week back on campus.

it was okay, but the people were slightly rude and i messed my sign up and wanted a different one. i was also sad that we could not swear, because in fact we are college students. i liked the size of them and how they were on true metal!

I definitely enjoyed myself. The yoga and therapy dogs were definitely relaxing, fun elements of the evening, and the face scrub and bath bomb station was creative.

It was great! Dining Services, as always, prepared an exceptional array of tasty choices. Having the band, cheerleaders, dance team and football coach added to the spirit of the event. Overall, it was a fantastic picnic. Thank you to all who were involved in the planning.

The movie was awesome and I was so glad to be able to see it *without paying* after it was already out of theatres

I just wish we had more of these

I liked it, I wish we could have yoga outside all the time

Super awesome event! It really got me interested in yoga and made me consider paying for the classes at the rec. Also a great activity to do with friends and an amazing start to the day!
