Well that's nonsense. Just because you "believe" most people can meet with their former professors does not mean your belief is fact. Majority of people I know don't live anywhere near where they attended school, and you are acting like nearly everyone lives right next door to their former university. Should my boyfriend pack up for a four hour road trip because some professor is too much of a snob to answer a request sent via email? Should I be expected to fly 5,000 miles to meet with my former professors? Professors can't know whether you are within a reasonable distance to come and see them or not. For professors to ignore students who live far away or give priority to those who happen to live nearby is terribly unprofessional. I have never taken more than 48 hours to respond to any email from any of my students. It's part of your job if you are a teacher or professor there's no excuse for not answering an email. It takes less than a minute to say yes or no.
