Schools want you to enroll with them, so they're more than happy to help you, answer questions, and arrange a visit. Here are the best ways to get the information you need to make a good decision about a school.
- Visit the school.
You won't know how much you like the school or training program until you take a walk around and ask questions.
- Sit in on classes.
Call and make arrangements with the admissions office.
- Talk with a teacher in your department.
This is a great way to get a better sense of what goes on inside the classroom. Ask about the workload and class difficulty. You can also ask if students find work in their field after they graduate.
- Talk with students.
Students give the best information about what it's like to attend a particular school. Ask if they would choose this school again and how they feel about their chances of getting a good job when they graduate.
- Talk to someone in the financial aid office.
You can do this in person or over the phone.
- Print this Questions to ask schools.
If you're still not sure this school is the right choice, visit the other schools on your list to find a better match.
