    I posted this on /adv/ but you guys might be of help too.

    I go back to college in six weeks but this is something I have been thinking about.

    I want to establish good relationships with my professors because I have to get 3 recommendation letters for grad school. I just finished my first year of college. I usually participate in class, the professor knows who I am, I get good grades and feedback, etc. However, is this enough for a recommendation letter? Is there a way to get closer to your professor to get a more personalized recommendation?

    Professors offer office hours but I've only been to them to pick up assignments/exams. If I have a problem with my homework, I usually figure it out on my own instead of going to office hours. This is partly because I do my work from 10pm-2am usually, the night before (that's just..how I do work).

    Has any other college student here been to office hours just to…talk to a professor, especially if you're in a math/sciences field?
    Another part of it is that most of my professors are male for my major (math) and I'm female. How do I do this without coming off as if I'm trying to seduce them or something?

    Is it because I'm female? There are girls who major in math.

    Word of advice, OP: Professor's aren't stupid. They can see right through a kiss-ass who's only after a recommendation letter.

    Just let relationships happen naturally, don't force it. You get better letters that way.

    I feel ya. I'm entering my fourth year and I've only got two letters down (both from professors I did research under). Haven't had a single professor for more than a single quarter.
    feels bad man

    Two is better than none I suppose. What's your major? Are you applying to competitive programs?

    I won't tell you my college, but I'm majoring in math and the school's ranked top 10 for the program. The professors are so intelligent it's intimidating almost

    It's probably not a srs question, but whatever- I have almost no tits ha

    Lol, that tit question was serious!

    It was related to your "seduce" question. If you have small tits people are less likely to jump to conclusions about shit like that. If you had HUGE MAMMORIES, then you would be accused of all sorts of sex shit all the time.
    (and I would ask you to post!)

    Yeah, why are you worring about that shit so early? You need to just try and be "friends" with the proffs. You never just talk to proffs just to talk about math? say hi? ect?

    You need to develop a good dyanmic with a few proffs. Just try and be friendly. Say hi, when you pass them. Talk to them about there research or about math in general, or make some jokes. Just treat them like normal human beings and you should be able to befriend a few.

    Haha oh, well good to know.

    I guess I'm worrying about that shit early because I had a hard time getting recs for college when I was in high school. I was a really good student but awfully quiet. I've opened up a bit since then, but outside of the classroom, I find it hard to talk to professors beyond small talk. I guess I'm shy when it comes to these things....
