Questions to be asked

[bsteinma]

I will be visiting my prospective college campus later this week. I will hopefully be entering a mechanical engineering masters program and I did not receive any funding up front. I imagine I will be relying on loans, trying to find assistantships, seeking out possible fellowships, etc.

I was hoping that everyone could help me to compile a list of questions that I should ask when I visit and possibly people that I should meet with and offices I should visit. Currently, I plan to meet with the department head, two other important departmental faculty members, a couple of current grad students, and probably the graduate student advisor. I plan to visit the financial aid office, possibly the fellowship office, and also any bulletin boards that might have assistantships posted.

Thank You,

There are many posts on this topic. Do a search for "interview questions." You can even Google that - I got some good ideas from a couple of websites. Good luck!
