The piece pokes fun at Barnard College advising practices. It describes the Dean of Studies Office as unexciting and distraction free while portraying the alphabetically assigned advisor as a personal but limited guide who influences course choice and majors. It likens the enrollment process to an all day trek and quips about scheduling conflicts and late fees.
