Anyone have any experience with private advisers?

I am non-trad and have found no help from my previous university; they are completely geared towards their 4-yr premed students and won't give me the time of day.

I've gone it alone this far, but kind of feeling lost and curious about meeting with a private adviser. Interested in what options are out there and what you all have experienced. Thanks!

SDN all the way I found my advisers ill-informed and useless at times. I will not be matriculating in a week without SDN. Whatever you are going through someone here has gone through it. What question you have have probably bee asked and answered many times over.
