<p>So today I had my NSC… the only thing that impressed me was how sincere and helpful some of the student volunteers were.</p>
<p>Wow the mandatory sessions weren’t good (I kept on YAWNING and YAWNING). Who’s writing the first few speakers’ speeches and slides? Or more importantly, who’s letting them speak? Like what the heck… And I raised my hand several times, but the Biology head advisor kept on ignoring me (I was sitting in front of her). </p>
<p>Before today, I’ve met with a few of A&M’s Biology advisors, and they doubted that I actually did obvious tasks before meeting them and didn’t truly care about my important issues that could have been easily handled right then and there (they gave me their card and seemed like they wanted me to stop bothering them ASAP). The secretary was nice though :)</p>
<p>I also once signed up for an optional tour, remembered the wrong room number, and was brought to an office to get help (I was late anyway, so it was possible that I had been standing next to the wrong door the whole time). I asked the woman in charge if I could look up the email to make sure I had the correct room number, but she kept on ignoring me and asking me who was in charge of the department I was in (irrelevant), who was in charge of the department I used to be in (irrelevant), and who was in charge of the research program that got me linked to the emails (irrelevant). I KNEW that the name of the person in charge (and the room number) was in my email, but she kept on wasting my time by looking up irrelevant people until I left her to use a computer that wasn’t hers (can’t use a faculty member’s computer).</p>
<p>Well I hope this gives someone more information about A&M… A year ago, I would have liked to know that these attitudes were more prevalent than expected (they were less common at at all three of my previous community colleges).</p>
<p>So I Googled something and found [College</a> disappointment: Philosophy Forums](<a href=“http://forums.philosophyforums.com/comments.php?id=15151&findpost=278994#post278994]College”>http://forums.philosophyforums.com/comments.php?id=15151&findpost=278994#post278994) which made me feel a bit better (I’m not alone about some other things).</p>
<p>Thanks guys for putting up with this gloomy post.</p>
