"Ask advising"?

[High_Order1]

I started with two phone reviews with two people.

They both.... were exceptionally lacking.

I then did an email, and lucked out on one person who has been exceptionally, incredibly helpful. I have done everything else the past two years through her.

I have thought about it, and I don't think I want to advertise this person. She's been super good to me, and I don't think she'd appreciate a torrent of emails.

Honestly, I learned more here than I ever have talking to them. My advisor contact was only really useful in very specific questions, or where I needed something specifically done.

But the phone advising they push is terrible. They kept telling me they didn't want to do email. I told them I wanted a record. (shrugs_
