[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advisors at universities are low-pay, high turnover positions. Child #1 attends an OOS flagship, and had 3 different ones by the end of freshman year. Saw the honors college advisors going forward, worked out great. Child #2 is at a private University, and has had a similar experience with advisor turnover. They went to the Dean of the school to talk about options, worked out great too[/quote] Aren't advisors supposed to be professors in their area of study? when I went to school (a million years ago, yes) freshmen were assigned to someone and then selected their own by the end of sophomore year - a professor in their major. I was a pretty on-top-of-it student but I think having someone make sure you're headed in the right direction is super helpful. [/quote] At my small LAC all advising was done by professors, in your major if you had one. So it was hit or miss.[/quote]
