Financial aid? Academic rigor? School spirit? There a billion things that motivate students to go to the same school.
It may not have been their first choice school, but that doesn’t mean they don’t love it there.
It amazes me how some of my friends who go to big schools have to take a bus for 20 minutes from one part of campus to another, just to get to class. What I love about going to a smaller school is that I can just roll out of bed and be in my seat within 10 minutes. (Which means more sleep and not waking up as early.)
A nicer way of asking what they don’t like about their school.
The percentage of freshmen who stay for sophomore year says a lot about how they enjoyed their first year of college.
College is expensive and while it’s a great experience, you probably don’t want to be paying tuition for more years than you need to.
I’d recommend asking a few students this question, as it will give you a general feel for the people who go to the school.
Do a lot of students go home? Are they participating in on-campus clubs and activities? Studying? What students do in their free time and on weekends says a lot about the campus culture and the people who go there.
And how many students take advantage of them?
I’d say this one is pretty important.
Although it might be intimidating, don’t be afraid to go up to random students on campus and ask them any questions you might have about the school or their experiences. Remember, the students leading the tour are wonderful, but they’re also hired to represent the school, put on their best face, and persuade you to apply and attend. You’re there to get a genuine and honest feel for the school, so be brave and ask tons of questions to all the different people you encounter. Trust me, it’s better to have more information than not enough. Good luck!
