Is Little Chit-Chat Annoying?

Hey y'all, I am looking to ask a question, as I have only ever went to small schools, but am now switching to a state university.

​

I am a VERY social person, and I love to talk to anybody and everybody. After completing my first year of university at a small private school, I am now switching my major and attending one of the largest colleges in my state. I almost ALWAYS would try and have a little conversation with my professors after class. I can almost always find a way to relate the material to my major and passions, and they typically seemed to enjoy our chats. Sometimes I would end up following my profs to their office hours when we talked, but other times it was only for a few minutes. I really tried my best to read the room.

​

So basically I am asking, were my conversations only appreciated because it was a small school? Or do you guys actually enjoy when we talk about the material and try to have education discussions?

​

Thank you for your time! :)
