The last three of those were priceless. Very nice, did you make that up yourself or find it somewhere?

I found it online somewhere; re-reading it I'm surprised it doesn't have a section there for Advisor.

In my school all the advisers are either associate or full professors; is that not the case at your institution?

Nope; only the main coordinator of advising is a professor; the actual academic advisor that I see for registering for classes, matriculating etc. does nothing but that.

Ah, you must go to one of those real colleges then, one with dorms and a campus and an administration that actually has a marginal amount of caring for the student body.

The part of the college I'm in is all on Centennial campus, which is essentially a research/business park, so most of the caring goes to the graduate student body (the undergrad ECE department here is pretty lacking IMO).
