You belong and are important to the proper functioning of the University. After all, the mission of the University is to educate people and without you the University would not have a purpose. We of the University staff and faculty want to have a purpose so it follows that we want to have you here. Being a part of the University means you have access to all of the services that are offered to students and there are many. I can list them, but first, lets consider the teachers themselves.
Teachers are generally a pretty conscientious lot and want to feel satisfied with their work.
They have put a lot of time and energy into preparing for their profession and want to use all their skills well. If you have questions raise your hand in class and ask away. You may feel other students will look down on you for not knowing the answer to such a dumb question but what they really feel is gratitude that someone has the courage to ask what they desperately needed to know and were to afraid to do so. Teachers like to have you ask questions about the course material because it gives them some idea about where the students are in the learning process. And don't be afraid to consult with your teachers if you have problems or some special need.
