What questions should I ask during college interviews?

I'm preparing for my upcoming college interviews and want to make sure I'm asking insightful questions. What are some good questions that demonstrate my interest and help me learn more about the college?

Great that you're preparing for your college interviews! It's essential to have questions ready. This not only shows your interest in the school, but also provides an opportunity for you to determine if the college is a good fit for you. Here are some suggestions:

1. Can you tell me about the campus culture and student life? What do students typically do on the weekends?

2. What resources or support does the school provide for internships or job placements? Can you talk more about the career center and its effectiveness?

3. What makes this college unique or different from other similar institutions?

4. What are the school's strengths in my prospective major or area of interest? Are there any special programs, research opportunities or extracurricular activities related to my field of interest?

5. How accessible are professors outside of class? Is it common for students to engage with faculty members on research or other projects?

6. Coming from someone who really knows the school well, what do you think are the biggest challenges for students at this college?

7. What has been done recently to improve the student experience? Is there anything the school is currently working on to continue to improve?

8. Can you share some experiences of alumni who have graduated with my potential major? Where are they now?

Remember to keep your questions open-ended (no yes-or-no questions), and related to your interviewer's experiences when applicable. Don't forget to express appreciation for their answers and their time. Good luck with your interviews!
