At UW-Milwaukee there could be entire semesters when I didn't have sit-down meetings with this many students... Rarely did more than 2-3 students stop in/day. This is a big difference between the two schools.There are all different reasons for meeting - midterm grades, extra credit opps (those are correlational), internship questions, class project questions, quiz make-ups, job search advice, research questions and updates and one just stopping by. I love that the students stop in to discuss things face-to-face. But I miss my "office" time where I could actually do office work.
I don't start advising until next semester. I have already met with 16 (current and former) students this week and it's only 1:30 on a Wednesday afternoon.
