So sick of not getting an opportunity to ask questions in university

I miss high school and college where I got a chance to ask the teacher questions.

At my University, professors just hate it when students try to ask a question. They rush off after class, and make themselves totally unavailable. They run maybe 1 or 2 question sessions before an exam, but I’ve been to all of them and it’s impossible to speak to an instructor. Most of the time, there’s 1-2 teachers for a course of 200+ students! I’ve tried waiting in line but the teachers leave before I get a turn to speak to someone.

I tried to email one of my professors with 4 questions about the content. I figured since I hadn’t bothered any teachers from that course with questions all semester, 4 questions wouldn’t be too bad. Before I sent these questions, I made sure to watch all the lecture and tutorial recordings, I even watched some twice to make sure I got as much out of them as I possibly could.

The reply I got was rather rude, the professor told me to watch the lectures and tutorials because I clearly hadn’t done that. And if I still have questions I have to go to the question session.

My grades are so much lower because my questions go unanswered, and it’s so frustrating and terribly discouraging. I genuinely just need some help and I’m paying tens of thousands to go to this school!
