OP here. I've met the first and third types, not the second yet but I know they're around.
I won't switch my major, but I definitely understand where you're coming from. For me, going back to school (on the govt dime bc liberal state and I'm old/poor enough to qualify) is about the professors.
Even with coronachan and the shutdown at my school, I have already set recurring appointments with my professors (I'm a commuter) to meet and talk about the material and whatnot. Honestly it's pretty sweet, because I get everything I want without the bother of dealing with other classmates.

The other week, one class got bogged down because we became stuck in the debate "Was James Joyce a feminist, or did he hate women?" using only "The Dead" for reference. I tried my hardest to move it along and spare my brain cells to no avail. I'll be excited to not deal with that going forward.

The library is awesome too, so I'm making the most of having that. It's a damn shame that so many of the students are just kids and don't realize how much information is available and how much they could learn if they just utilized it.

Currently, I have an excellent relationship with a particular professor because she's really supportive of my research paper (final paper for her class) on Heart of Darkness. So I'll be meeting with her every week to discuss my progress.

In regard to my thread, I would rather not deal too much with the other students. Even when given legitimate criticism on how to improve their work (not by me) they break down because "It's my LIFE" and therefore fuckin commas or general editing shouldn't be required apparently.
