Good questions to ask at college interviews?

I've got a few college interviews coming up, and I'm trying to think of good questions to ask. What are some key topics I should cover or specific questions that can make me stand out?

3 months ago

Consider asking specific questions that demonstrate you've done your homework about the school while also showing your genuine curiosity. Here are some examples:

1. What makes students successful at this institution?

2. Can you tell me more about any collaborative learning or research opportunities at your institution?

3. How does the college integrate its academic and student life programs?

4. Can you name a challenge that recent graduates from this school generally face and the measures the school takes to combat this issue?

5. How are internships opportunities sourced and secured for students?

Remember, the goal here is to understand their offerings and highlight your interest in maximizing your college experience at their institution. Avoid asking questions that you could easily find answers to online. This can show the interviewer that you're prepared, thoughtful, and eager to be a productive member of their campus community.
