[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did this st a large state school. I was part of a stem club sponsored by the professor. She invited the whole club over a couple times. Not everyone in the club was is her classes. I was and dtill didn't fo well in it. 
Dh went to a rural SLAC and it was very common there since classes are small. He remained friends with a couple professors and we exchange holiday cards, visit their house during reunions and they offer to read his drafts pre journal submission. 
And no it wasn't fair to other students, but higher education, especially in SLACs  is not only about meritocracy, but about relationships. [/quote]

[b]LIFE is about relationships.  Is that fair?  Who cares, it is reality[/b].[/quote]

Yes, but universities should hold their professors to different standards. [/quote]

It may depend on college.  But this is actively promoted at many.  Meaning professors are encouraged to do this.  Develop connections outside of classroom.  Be mentors.  Always in groups.  Not sure who it is not fair to.  People seem to think there is an impact on grades that I do not think is there.  This is about mentorship.  Not everyone can be included the same way some seminar courses are only 12 students.  Is that unfair to the rest?  You make your own path.  These are not exclusive based on any criteria other than maybe good students.[/quote]

This. Its why its so importnat that the school is a good fit and not just the highest ranking etc. When it isn't all this could be missing from the college experience. [/quote]
