• What are the most popular majors?

• How accessible are the faculty and staff? How well do they get to know students?

• Is there guaranteed housing for freshmen? Where do upperclassmen live?

• What is the average financial aid package for the freshman year? For the remaining school years?

• What is the placement record for jobs and/or graduate school in my chosen field?

• Are campus buildings new? If not, are the older buildings in good shape? How well are the grounds maintained?

• How appealing are the residence facilities? Is there an adequate number? Are they well lit? Are there safety features such as fire escapes, limited entry, etc.?
