I love most of my teachers right now in high school.
They're really helpful and make the class fun and exciting.

How are college professors?
I know that every professor differs in personality, but what are some cool experiences you've had in the college classroom?

I've had good experiences and bad experiences. My history professor was related to General Patton. My political science professor was a live wire and ultra-passionate. My physics professor is a humorous fellow, but has a DIY kind of personality. My math profs have all been nice as hell -- except the one who sounded like Slowpoke Rodriguez from Speedy Gonzalez.

Hmm. Cool experiences. My political science prof let the class debate politics a couple times. As someone who's big into debating, it was really exciting and fun.

Really, you're going to get a diverse range of personalities in college. I've only met one who absolutely should not be teaching, though. You're going to find that a lot of profs have a passion for their subject that eclipses anything you've seen in high school. If you show some interest in their subject, and especially if you match it, you can have some really cool, in-depth conversations with them.
