Advisors at Orientation

<p>Like a lot of others I'm sure, I'm going to be needing to speak to advisors at orientation about what classes to take, requirements, etc. I've heard from a friend at UT that the advisors at orientation are horrible, not just unlikable or not very nice, but HORRIBLE. Perhaps she was just unlucky and had a bad advisor at her freshman orientation? I don't know, so if anyone is willing to share their opinion of orientation advisors please do. I'd understand if they were tired/irritated from having to speak with so many students but in the conversation I had with this friend she just didn't have anything good to say about them, so I'm a little worried.</p>

<p>The ones I talk to were nice enough, but I don’t even remember what they told me. You don’t really have much freedom freshman year anyways, I know my major basically told you what you were taking.</p>

<p>It depends on your major. If you’re an undeclared liberal arts major, you aren’t going to be getting the university’s best advisors. If you’re in honors, you will be.</p>

<p>But if you come with some semblance of an idea of what classes you want to take and don’t waste the advisor’s time it should be fine.</p>
