During college interviews, I want to make sure I'm asking insightful questions. What are some thoughtful questions I should consider asking to learn more about the college and show I'm interested?
Great to see that you're looking to be proactive and insightful during your college interviews. Here are some thoughtful questions you could consider asking:
1. What opportunities for undergraduate research are there, and how do students go about getting involved?
2. How does the college support student well-being, both academically and personally?
3. Could you share some examples of internships or job placements recent graduates from my intended major have secured?
4. What support is available for students who are undecided about their major?
5. How does the college help students prepare for the job market or graduate school?
6. Can you tell me about some unique traditions or events on campus that students typically engage in?
7. What opportunities are there for students to study abroad or do internships abroad?
8. How would graduates describe the college's impact on their personal and professional growth?
Remember, you're interviewing the college just as much as they're interviewing you. These questions are meant to help you understand if the school could be a good fit.
