I unfortunately don't use Tor very much or know much about appropriate configurations, but recently I tried using Tor at my school and while trying to start up it got stuck on "establishing an encrypted directory connection" for ~8 minutes. I'm not entirely sure how long the process typically takes, but I dont believe it takes that long regularly. Should I be using different configurations for Tor (my current is the default one :p)

You seem to be a victim of HTTPS/TLS/SSL attacks, try using Meek pluggable transport

UPDATE: A pluggable transport is an on-flight handler that masks Tor protocol and requests, so they don't look like themselves and look more like regular requests for another massively used protocol, like HTTPS, for example. The official "how-to" is a good point to start
