When speaking with an admissions representative at a college fair, it’s helpful to ask questions that will give you a clear sense of the college’s academic offerings, campus life, support services, and opportunities. Here are some thoughtful questions you could ask:
Academics:
- What are some unique aspects of your ____________ major?
- What is the average class size for introductory courses and for upper-level courses?
- How accessible are faculty members to students outside of class?
- Are there research or internship opportunities available for undergraduates?
- What kind of academic support services do you offer (tutoring, writing centers, etc.)?
Campus Life:
- What is the campus community like? How would you describe student life?
- Are there student organizations or clubs related to my interests?
- What are the housing options for first-year students? Are students required to live on campus?
- What is the surrounding town or city like? How do students typically spend their free time?
- How diverse is the student body, and how does the college support inclusivity?
Admissions & Financial Aid:
- What do you look for in a competitive application?
- Do you offer early action or early decision options? What are the benefits?
- Are there opportunities for merit-based scholarships, and how do students apply for them?
- What percentage of students receive financial aid, and what is the average financial aid package?
- Is it possible to meet with a current student or visit campus after applying?
Career Development:
- How does your school help students with career placement or internships?
- What is the employment rate for graduates, and which companies or industries tend to hire your alumni?
- Are there opportunities for alumni mentorship or networking while I’m a student?
Other:
- What sets your school apart from other colleges in the same region or with similar programs?
- How do you support students transitioning from high school to college life, both academically and socially?
- What study abroad programs do you offer?
Asking questions that are relevant to your own goals and interests can help you gather useful information while also showing genuine interest in the institution
