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.
If you're still not sure this school is the right choice, visit the other schools on your list to find a better match.
