[quote=Anonymous]A visiting professor is different (and superior to) an adjunct faculty member. I don’t mean superior in terms of quality, but better for the dept. Adjuncts often do but get an office are only on campus to teach their classes. They may not get benefits . It is like a part time job, with limited investment on both parts. A visiting professor is usually a full time (tenured) faculty member at another university. They are there to bring fresh input and get new ideas from the new environment. They usually have offices, give lectures and were sought because they have knowledge or skills the new school seeks. I think OP is not well informed about academia. Before your kid chooses a college, make sure they have a critical mass of permanent faculty in the subject they hope to study. That should be part of the family’s research upfront.[/quote]
