"My academic advisor, especially my freshman year, was very helpful in deciding how many hours to take each semester and when to fit in General Education courses and when to start on my major courses. She was very knowledgeable about the departments I was entering into as well. She was always available, either by Email or by appointment to see her face-to-face."
