"The Q-Life team expresses tons of enthusiasm and passion around their role as Q-Life leaders, which certainly comes across to students in a positive way. They contribute to the "lifestyle" edge which is highly pertinent to young adults today, especially regarding exercise, nutrition, and social media "
Q-Life Graduate
"All the Q-Life leaders are very sincere communicators. You get the sense that they are being very honest and genuine about their past experiences (good and bad), as well as about their intention to help people of all walks of life be their best selves."
Q-Life Graduate
"I appreciate the Q-Life leaders sharing their past experiences and drawing parallels with people of different walks of life, such as making comparisons between athletes they have worked with vs. an academically-minded student studying for a hard exam."

"The Q life came just when I needed it. I love the encouragement it provides to “charge my r-battery” in order to take on my daily tasks as a student. "
Q-Life Graduate
"“Q-Life is something that has unfortunately only been brought to my attention at the end of my university career, but regardless of the timing I am incredibly happy I got this experience because I believe it has changed me forever. I have never been more happy and able to resist the negative thoughts present in my head like I have with Q-Life training. This experience has made me more confident in myself and my abilities to handle my emotions. I think the campus would benefit greatly if this was a required course to take before coming into university. These are essential life skills to have and should be taught to everyone regardless of their university/career interest.”"
Q-Life Graduate
"I absolutely loved the course and will definitely promote it as much as I can to others!"
Q-Life Graduate
"I really enjoy the companion. It has everything I need and allows me to actually participate and work through exercises. I like how it also summarizes the main ideas so when I need something I can look back on it. "
