A great @laura11D advice thread for students in college, but as a prof I want to push back on these two just a wee bit. 1/ 
First of all, props to whomever has half-hour slots for students, but for most of us that would be impossible. #TooManyStudents
Second of all, professors can sniff out pretty quickly when a student is simply trying to ingratiate themselves with the prof. So have GOOD questions when you come to visit.
In the spirit of friendly advice on this front, I would amend @laura11D’s advice in two ways.
First, if you’re going to office hours just to interact with a prof, do it early in the semester. Office hours are less frequented then, and the prof might not be woefully behind on stuff yet!
Second, go visit when you’re really jazzed about something you read in class and want to know more about the idea/argument. We like academic enthusiasm! #fin
