Professors like it when you talk to them. They set up "office hours," and are usually disappointed that more students don't drop by to chat. That's an example of something else about college: there's lots of resources available, but you're not always aware that they're there. Maybe you find them reading the student newspaper, or in a page you might overlook in the course guide. Maybe there's fliers around campus, maybe you hear about it from another student. Maybe it's on the college's Twitter feed or web site. (U.C. Davis had a really terrific blog about the town and the community, with pages on every aspect of local life.) But there's definitely a ton of resources. (A placement office with career counseling, financial aid advice and academic counseling with support resources, free mental health counseling, various fitness programs...all kinds of stuff.) Maybe my advice is: just be aware that there's additional resources you probably aren't aware of yet, so keep your ears open, and don't be afraid to ask around or go look for them.
