What is important to remember? What just&#8230;isn&#8217;t?<\/p>\n<p>As\u00a0you and your family begin to visit college campuses, we wanted to offer some ammunition when facing off with college admissions staffs, and lots of statistics,\u00a0in search of <em>real<\/em> answers to your very <em>real<\/em> questions.<\/p>\n<p>Here are <strong>Tough Questions to Ask on Campus Visits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #a51d35;\"><strong>1. \u00a0 <b>&#8220;Why did you choose this college?&#8221;<\/b> <\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make the most of your time with the student tour guide by not only asking about the institution, but about their personal experience and if the school has met their expectations. If you don&#8217;t have a student tour guide, ask your admissions counselor to put you in touch with a current student. It&#8217;s best to hear experiences from the people who live it.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #a51d35;\"><strong>2. \u00a0 <b>&#8220;What\u2019s the average class size of a freshman classroom?&#8221;<\/b> <\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data points like student to faculty ratio can be misleading. Major-specific classes are always smaller in your junior or seniors year, which skew these results. But it\u2019s the freshman-year experience that will set you up for success. Be specific and ask a question like, &#8220;How many students would typically be in my\u00a0intro Biology course as a freshman?&#8221; This question will likely give you the answer you need. Is the answer 30 or 300? Those are two very different experiences. If you prefer knowing your professors and your professors knowing you, make sure your first-year college experience isn\u2019t as a number in a large, crowded lecture hall.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>3.\u00a0&#8220;What academic and personal support services are available on campus?&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Parents &#8211; we know you want a security blanket in place if your student needs help. Is there a writing or academic support center for homework? Is tutoring available? If so, how much does each session cost? Do you offer personal counseling or mental health services, if needed?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #a51d35;\"><strong>4. \u00a0 <b>&#8220;How easy is it to change majors?&#8221;<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With nearly all certainty, you will change your mind. And that\u2019s expect as you grow and learn about new fields and disciplines. But at some schools, this can have a big impact due to the strict nature of their curriculum.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in pre-med, for example, many schools require a heavy course load in the first semester (Biology 1, Chemistry 1, Calculus 1, etc.) for you to\u00a0keep you on track to graduate. But, what if you decide <em>after<\/em> your first semester or at the end of your <em>sophomore<\/em> year? How does a major change affect when you graduate? And, how much would each additional semester or year of school cost? This leads to question #5\u2026.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #a51d35;\"><strong>5<\/strong>.\u00a0<b>&#8220;How many of your students graduate in <em>four<\/em> years?&#8221;<\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your &#8220;actual cost&#8221; in college (the sticker price minus scholarships, grants, and loans) is only guaranteed for four years. Yet <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">only 1 in 3 students\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">graduate in four years (a mere 33%)! This means 2 of 3 students end up paying more than they anticipate. Know now so you can be financially prepared to pay extra out-of-pocket\u00a0for an extra semester, year, or two, if necessary. (P.S. Don&#8217;t forget to ask if they offer a 4-year guaranteed graduations..like Transy\u00a0can with the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/admission\/pioneer-pledge\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pioneer Pledge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.)<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #a51d35;\"><strong>6.<\/strong>\u00a0<b>&#8220;What percentage of graduates find jobs or are accepted into grad school within a few months after graduation?&#8221;<\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only should you be well-educated upon graduation, you should be well-prepared to tackle the job market or grad program of your choice. What grad schools are graduates attending? What jobs are they securing?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>During all of your campus visits, keep in mind that how you are treated as a prospective student reflects exactly how you will be treated as a current student. Customer service, responsiveness, and willingness to answer tough questions, like these, are an indicator of a college\u2019s true colors.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
