What questions should I ask a college rep?

I'm going to apply for next semester and it's the first time I signed up for college. I want to know what type of questions I should ask a college representative?

    Would I be required to live on campus?

    Do you offer scholarships, fellowships, or assistantships, and if so, do I need to apply separately or will I be automatically considered?

    What is life like on and off campus?

    Why should I choose your school over others? What is unique about your school?

    If you know your major, ask about the specific department:

    How many faculty members?

    Are there opportunities for me to get hands-on research experience (if applicable)?

    How well does your program prepare students for graduate school and/or careers in this field?

    First ask about GPA and test scores (SAT and ACT)requirements. Ask about the apllication process, that is are they rolling, early action or early decision and fee. Majors. You should ask about the tuition how much and do they offer fixed rate, financial aid available, scholarships, class size, internship opportunities and job placement. Can you take a tour too? These are the basics.

  • I wouldn't ask them anything you couldn't find by way of personal research. When speaking to a representative, ask him/her this question. "What should I expect to feel like ten years down the road after graduating from ___________University?" Personally, I think it's the toughest question for a prospective student to figure out.
