When you are choosing a university to attend, you will most likely be speaking with an admissions counselor at that school to answer any questions you may have. Whether you are attending an online university or will be completing your studies on campus, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure you make the right choice for your undergraduate and graduate studies.

What Are the Class Sizes Like?

Class size can have a big impact on your university experience. If you are opting for online studies, it may be difficult to make connections and get your questions answered when your class is too large—and the same is true for on-campus students. Some students may like the idea of learning in a lecture hall, but it definitely isn’t for everyone. Ask the admissions counselor the average class size, and if you know your major of choice, ask about those specific classes as well.

Is there Job Help During or Post Graduation?

We all go to college for one reason: to land the job of our dreams. And while our studies are so important, finding that job once we leave university is even more so. Ask the admissions counselor what the school offers in terms of job help, whether that is helping with resume writing, internship placement or job placement post graduation.

 Does the School Offer Financial Help?

Paying for college isn’t easy. Most students attending university are doing so with the help of financial aid. But not all colleges offer aid to their students. Before you decide on a college, make sure you understand what they offer in terms of financial aid, scholarships and assistance.

 How is a Major or Minor Chosen?

Some universities require students to apply to certain majors before they enter the school, while others require a certain GPA or prerequisites before entering into their major of choice or a graduate program. Make sure you have this information before you choose a school or you may get stuck in a major you didn’t want due to not meeting requirements.

 What are the Prerequisites?

You will want to know any necessary prerequisites for a major or graduate program, but you also want to know what requirements you need to be accepted into the university. Speak to an admissions counselor about what they expect in terms of grade point average and test scores, and which tests you will need to take in order to be considered. Also ask about miscellaneous items like whether or not a personal essay is required or if the school needs references.
