<p>I’m going to ADOCH and I kind of want to talk to a classics prof about the concentration and placement and stuff like that. Should I email him with these questions, email him and ask to set up a time to talk, try to talk to him after a class which I’m visiting, or just wait until September to talk to him? The biggest qualm I have about just emailing him questions that I don’t really have specific questions, and most of my questions would be in response to his initial answers.</p>
<p>Just talk to him after his class.</p>
<p>Also, there is an event on the 20th where departments, professors and students all can answer questions about stuff like that.</p>
<p>Rabo, do some research on the website about the department, the classes he teaches, or maybe even his research. then think of a specific question and e-mail him, ask if there is a good time to meet with him during ADOCH. if you tell him you’re a prospective student, there’s a good chance he’ll take the time to give you a lot of good advise. it’ll probably take about 30 mins to do some background reading and send off an e-mail, and if you’re really interested in classics it could be well worth it</p>
