In my own case, I would say that I have certainly sought out my adviser and have just had bad experiences. He was unable to answer questions, unable to provide advice on course selection, study abroad opportunities, double-majoring etc - all of which tie into me graduating on time. Also, as a transfer student, I found him particularly unhelpful - as did all the students who had him - in regards to our transfer credit.

As a student, I am just giving an honest account. I think it is something that the administration should work on. I knew seniors last year that loved the adviser they had the first three years, then their adviser was changed/retired, and they had a dismal experience with new ones their 4th year.
