[quote=Anonymous]My child is at Juniata College, a small LAC in rural PA.

They provide two advisors per student, and one must NOT be in your area of study. They will meet with her anytime about anything. They have written countless letters of recommendation, which have helped her win two prestigious national internships. One offered to read her application essay in advance, and gave suggestions for how it might be strengthened. He has supervised her research in his lab, over years, allowing her to take the lead on a paper that has been published in a peer reviewed journal. The second invited his whole class over to their house for dinner, to meet his family and celebrate the end of the semester. Another faculty member took the Environmental Health club out into the woods on a Saturday night during the Vernal Equinox, to help them find salamanders and other amphibians.

In response to the UNIGO survey question "How accessible are your professors?" 52% say "they are always available" (the top of 4 levels of response. No students reported the lowest two levels of rating).

Because it is a CTCL, a certain sad sack will likely rip it apart...just give him time. But in response to OP's question...we have found the mentorship there to be excellent. [/quote]
