If a university charges you $32,495/term (Northeastern ) for fulltime when in a lot of other countries people make a living feeding their families with 20,000 us dollars or less, why on earth would you wait for 5+ hours to get help from the professor? There should be as many professors and TAs as possible to help you out!
It costs more than that to put food on your family in Boston, and most of that money goes to rent-seeking administrators rather than TAs and professors.
