[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] That's normal in a large university, OP. You can't expect the same level of hand-holding as in a small college. That's why the large uni tour guides usually don't mention it, and small college tour guides insist on it. [/quote] I think its more a function of UVA being public. My DC goes to a large private, about the same size as UVA, and the advising is outstanding. The counselors are on top of the course selections for the students, the incoming credits already earned, the remaining GE credits needed per student etc… and if anything is off after the student registers for classes, they are in touch with the student immediately. They are also extremely responsive, have given advice on how to track and gain access to classes that are ‘full’ etc/.[/quote] Curious where this is. I’ve heard repeatedly of advising (and course availability) problems at SLACs I would never have expected it from.[/quote]
