My 2 cents on advising at U of C:

My experience with my adviser has been absolutely horrible. I find him to be incompetent, unhelpful, not very genuine and overall just not a good adviser. Many of my friends have had similar experiences and it seems that advising part of undergrad at the College is not what it used to be. Many people seem to be hyped about it and then are very disappointed with who they end up with. It is a bit of a hit or miss.

However, I have had excellent experiences with my study abroad advisers and what I would call faculty mentors - both of which, I think, do an exceptional job in caring for a students development.
