sensational. might be the nicest person at BC- as an advisor he isn't overly useful unless you are clueless but that is kinda what an advisor is supposed to do anyway- too nice and too fair to give you the inside scoop on stuff so don't expect it- my only grievance

Great guy. SO nice. Office hours definitely help. Tough grader, but that's because Portico is very cutthroat, no matter who you have.
