It's best not to mess with the counselor and not to fall out with him. If you are narrow-minded, it will affect your personal development, personal scholarships, grants and awards at school. Counselors are also responsible for graduates' employment and defense, such as HR of enterprises and institutions that come to the school to announce recruitment, management of employment agreements for graduates and graduate students in ordinary colleges and universities, submission of dissertations and defense arrangements.
It is very important to handle the relationship with the counselor. There will be unexpected benefits in finding a job in the future. Don't fall out with the counselor at will.
For freshmen, it is not clear how to get on well with teachers and counselors, but there are always seniors who will advise freshmen to "befriend" with counselors.
As for the evaluation of scholarships, students who have a good relationship with counselors also have advantages, because sometimes the evaluation of scholarships depends not only on grades, but also on students' learning status at school and so on. Under the influence of these factors, counselors can favor students who have a good relationship with them.
