Abstract	Survey responses of seniors (N=63) at a large Eastern university on a questionnaire of their satisfaction with academic and student services were evaluated. Faculty interaction was most commonly reported as the best experience students had at the university, and often included mention of specific faculty and specific courses. The importance of positive interaction with faculty was particularly evident for women. Overall, more than half of the responses given related to student interaction with faculty. Bad experiences related to faculty, advising, courses/classes, and teaching assistants. Positive experiences with services tended to vary by gender: men identified automated registration, computer services, and athletics, while women identified academic-related services, counseling, and health services. Both genders identified parking and dining services as their worst experiences with services. Results suggest that students would like more interaction with faculty, a more supportive academic environment, and better delivery of campus services. Five tables of data are included.
