The relationship with the instructor is something I wanted to touch on but thought I'd maybe rambled too much already.
If it's a good program, they WANT you to succeed and they want to give you every possible advantage. You can show up to class, do the bare minimum, and maybe pass. But going the extra bit and asking good, useful, questions will get you much further.
I've never met an instructor who cares that isn't up for side discussions, private tutoring, and literally anything that helps the student squeeze as much info as possible before, during, and after the class. I have zero respect for anyone who teaches a class and refuses to do anything outside of the prescribed class hours... Makes me angry just thinking about it.
Edit: also if the instructor is working in the industry then they have a network that you can tap into... which is often more important
