Learn More Before You Enroll

Here are the best ways to get the information you need to make a good decision about a school.

• Questions to ask schools.
  They're more than happy to help you, answer questions, and arrange a visit.
• 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.
