<p>I recently received an e-mail from my ol introducing himself and stuff. is it appropriate to reply back or kind of lame. i don't want to be rude but i'm not sure. thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I think when I was an OL, I got maybe 1 response. If you reply I’m sure they’ll appreciate it. Just don’t be lame in your e-mail ;)</p>
<p>If you have questions, write them back because they can be helpful in answering them.</p>
<p>If you have anything meaningful to ask or say, why not? Just don’t waste your time (and his) if you’re going to send a rambling introductory email for no reason in particular - most people I know don’t stay in touch with their OLs beyond orientation.</p>
<p>lol okay thank you guys</p>
<p>i ended up asking mine a few questions thats really been on my mind and he replied back very thoroughly and was helpful. definitely doesn’t hurt to get some feedback from a current student there.</p>
