Questions to ask after Advising: So, who was your assigned academic advisor? Did

they give you a business card or did you write contact information down?

What was (s)he like? Which questions did you feel were really well

answered today? What questions do you still have? What are you going to do to find the answers? What was the most interesting course you selected,

based on reading the course description? What can I do to help you right now?
