College Visits - Part III

Ask Questions To…
- Students – It’s okay to walk up to random students and ask them about their
experiences. This is the best way to get candid answers to your toughest questions.
Don’t you want to know why students chose this school and if they are happy to be
there?

- Tour Guide – Ask your tour guide questions that are best answered by a current
student: What do you do fun? What are classes really like? Why did you choose this
school? What would you change, if you could? What are your post-graduation plans?
What did you do last Saturday night?

- Admissions Office – Ask admission counselors questions about academics,
the application process, admission rates, etc. Don’t ask admission counselors any
questions to which you can easily find the answer on a website or in printed literature.
For instance, don’t ask if the school offers a marine biology major. You should have
researched that yourself before you set foot on campus.

- Others – While you’re on campus consider meeting with coaches, faculty members,
the financial aid office, deans, etc. Depending upon the size of the school and your
individual talents, you should try to meet with all the relevant folks. Questions will
obviously vary based on who you are able to meet.
