So I'm going on a college tour on Monday, Tuesday, and a week-long one during the summer, and I've been wondering what to ask.
Any reccomendations? Feel free to list the easy ones (process, avg SAT and gap, etc.) and the less obvious ones (yeah, no examples from me here). |

If you can, ask current students about academic life, profs, course evaluations, class sizes, life on campus, financial aid, especially first year students. And ask them to be completely honest. I'm not happy with how my year has been and is turning out and I wish I had actually asked those who were going through it. Do you know want you want to do in the future? Since first year is usually the most difficult, consider what the school offers to ease that transition. It all depends on the school and what you want to get into but your first year marks may help in determining what you can get into. For many programs at my university, there is a GPA cutoff and most are pretty competitive. Good luck.
