A big reason for my strategy in attending office hours was I wanted to get to know the professors personally. Going from high school to college, I was shocked at how grades went from a hard 90+=A, 80-90=B, etc scale, to just...vibes? And if you were riding the line between an A and a B, and the professor knew you and knew you were diligent, you could catch a break sometimes. Plus they were usually very interesting and smart people, so interacting with them was time well spent.
