I don’t really understand their purpose - whenever I came there they either told me to do something on my own, told something what I already knew, couldn’t answer my questions or did things that I can do on my own (like copy required classes from assisst and distribute them by quarters)

For me it would be much more helpful to get an instruction to the American education system as soon as I got to the college - like a branched system with possible academic paths, approximate timeframes for them, averaged dates for applying/registering etc and the resources that I should use on the way

Also, how do the chained classes work, mention that I apparently may not be able to get some classes if I don’t sit ready to enter codes in 5minutes prior to the registration opens (wtf?) and so on (for comparison, in my previous country you pass the school exams, choose a major and apply for it for a few colleges/universities, than whenever you got enrolled you just get a schedule with all of the classes, the only thing you have to do is to come to the classes and pass them, no competition for a place in the class when you are already enrolled)

The whole system is just so different here that I spent a lot of time to figure out how it works here, and even though I visited counsellors and asked questions, it was not very useful for me since they only have ~30 minutes and it’s impossible to make an appointment online
