text: how many college students seek the help of guidance counselors?   when i first started college, i saw an advicer. i wanted to make sure i was taking the right classes for my degree. then, after that, for two years i did. it was a waste of my time, and i knew what classes i needed. i did go see an advicer last week though just to do an evaluation, to see what classes i have left. but for the most part, in my opinion, its a waste of time.
